I used to be so close to all my friends. I had circles of friends that were high school friends, work friends, church friends and now I just feel so disconnected.
Steve and I were talking about when we get married who we'd have stand up. Other than my sister and a couple cousins, I really don't have anyone that I feel super close to anymore. It makes me sad. I don't feel like I have the friendships I once had. Some of it is due to growing apart, some of it is due to differences, some of it is due to stupid things...It just sucks. I miss having someone I can pick up the phone and just talk with. I'm having problems with Emily behaving. She keeps throwing things and whines whenever she wants something. I'm working so hard to try to rear her with good Christian values.
Other than Steve and my family, I just feel so alone lately. Sorry to be such a downer, just feeling blue...
It's hard to keep everything in balance when you're a mom. I know my friendships have suffered some, too. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer...
ReplyDeleteSounds like Em is a normal kid. With normal, irritating behaviors. ;-)
Apply your classroom management strategies with her. She will behave how you expect her to behave. She's still little, so stay consistent and give her time...and drink while you wait for her to catch on. I'm only a little kidding.
You're doing great.
I wish we lived closer so Hannah and Emily could have a play date and we can just hang out and talk. :) I feel so much like my friendships have suffered, too, and I get jealous of other moms who seemingly get the girls night out and talk about their friends and I feel like I have nobody. My life has been so focused on helping Mark and being there for him and then Hannah that I feel so disconnected.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help encourage you. I'm always here for you and love you. ((HUGS))
