Yesterday I went to visit Kristy, Ander and Loki. First - Loki is so ADORABLE!! I love babies so much.
It was so nice to hang out with "normal" people. After having a few bad days it was so nice. I like that Kristy and I have similar parenting philosophies.
I wish we lived closer!!

Friends...
I think I'd had to let one friend go... It's definitely really hard for me. I'm still wondering if I'm doing the right thing.
I sit back and think - shouldn't a friendship be good for both parties involved? Is a good friendship one where one person gives all the time and the other only receives? Should you benefit from a friendship?
I've been talking to several friends about this situation the past few days. They all agree with me. Even a couple of months ago I talked to my dental hygenist. Yes, it's weird... We are close in age and discuss lots while getting my teeth cleaned. She knows more than a hygenist should know about me and I know more than a regular patient should know. It's a nice little friendship.
Anyway, my last visit she was talking about getting rid of things in her life that were time consuming but not beneficial. I think this friend fits the bill.
She has made me feel HORRIBLE the last couple of days. I think what's best for me is to let her go. I do wish her all the best!!
I have to reread my quote and see if it really applies to me still...

I want to cry...
the crazy friend is throwing around a LOT of mean things. She's making me question myself?? Her last email said "the reason I quit going to church is because being who claim to be Christian are the most judgemental."
I didn't respond to her email because I feel that's making it worse. I just called another friend of mine to ask her if it's me that's the nutcase...

oh, my... am I the crazy one??
I have a friend that I believe is crazy!! She has run all her friends off, boyfriends and doesn't speak to her family. I meet her about 8 or 9 years ago. We were co-leaders for a volunteer committee. Well, we didn't do well together on the committee. She finally decided to quit and we became friends.
She had a few friends then, but over the years they have all disappeared. I have remained friends. She is very time consuming and focused mostly on herself. Over the past few years, there have been times when I have to really back off.
When I was pregnant, renovating my house and working like crazy, she was me, me, me... Never asking how I was. I told her I just couldn't do it anymore. I needed a break. We eventually started talking again.
I feel really sorry for her. I've invited her to many functions with family and friends to try and get her to meet people. My poor friends dread it when she's invited. She talks NONSTOP!! She knows EVERYTHING!!
Well, she's been dating this guy. He seems like a great guy. Problem is he has 3 children. He is a good father and sees them as much as possible. Well, they broke up about a week ago. I called her after receiving her text message. She's crying histerically... I tell her it's going to be alright. That even if things don't work out for them, she'll move on and be fine. I try to explain that we've all been through rough times like this. Well, we finish talking and she calls me back a few minutes later - crying more... I try and tell her the same things but then she shouts - I don't need to hear that. So I say well, I don't know what to say. Maybe I shouldn't be talking to you right now. Good bye.
Now this weekend I get some crazy text messages about how she wishes I could understand how she feels. Also that she didn't want to hear that things may not work out. That I need to be understanding and tell her everything will work out.
Am I crazy?? Should I really lie to her just because that's what she wants to hear??
