Sister

My sister came to visit me this week. Thank the Lord. I love her so much. She is truly by best friend. I get sad to think she lives 8 hours away. Its funny we haven't always been this close. Its like we are experiencing things for the first time together. She has a 1 year old and is in her first year of her second marriage. I have two 9 months old and in my second year of marriage. She had 4 children before Abby but her youngest was 16 before Abby came. She said having Abby is like having a baby for the first time because there was never all this stuff for kids there is now. We spent our visit shopping...visiting...and watching our kids play. Abby stays at home with mommy all day so the adjustment of having other kids touch her and her stuff was an experience. I loved the faces she made at the boys like, "who are you and why are you in my space." My boys just ignored her...to funny. Its funny when you have kids no one really wants to be your friend. When you get married there is the adjustment of not being single. You start to do things with people who are also married and then you have kids and bam...you are nobody. I guess people assume you are busy or maybe they don't want to be around your kids. So my sister and I are close because we don't have someone everyday to talk to and just discuss everyday life. Don't get me wrong I have friends but things are way different than what they were before. I am in no way complaining. I just find it humorous that people somehow assume i am this woman who doesn't want to hang out...have a drink...get dinner. I am human people. To all my friends who still hang out with me. Thank you....my husband is grateful because without you I would be insane. And to my sister: i long for a day that we can spend the day shopping together...drinking margaritas...and then one of us pack up and go home and it not take 8-9 hours...i love you and miss you!
