So yesterday I got thinking about what the week used to involve in the year before I had kids........
I was a waitress, that only worked lunch shifts.
I hung out at a biker bar.
I saw bands perform LIVE in concert.
I went to the movies at least once a month.
I had friends.
What I do now.....
I work watching 2 little rugrats scream and chase each other, and hug each other too!
I no longer have a hangout of any sort really.
Live performances are few and far between, but I am wanting to go to more.
I go to the movies about 1-2 a year!
I don't have many friends BUT, I learned those(mentioned above) friends were friends of convienance---most of them.
I think the last thing on my list was the hardest lesson to learn. I LOVED hanging out in the bars and partying. But once I got pregnant everything changed. I was no longer "cool" enough for most people. And my friends that still talked to us were afraid to invite us anyplace because I was pregnant I guess. Luckily I had a couple girls that were pregnant at the same time, so at least they kinda knew what I was feeling. My mom lived 3 hours away, so I had no family in town either.
After my son was born I tried to go back to the bar occasionally but that was the only time I had contact with those people, and visited my old coworkers to show off the baby every now and again. NoOne called me or anything like that.
By the time my daughter came along....I don't even know if any of my "friends" even visited her.
By the time we moved(just a few months later)------nobody even came to say goodbye.
Weird....pathetic maybe.
But I lived in the town I gave birth to my children in for 7 years. And although I started my family there, all I left with was a couple email addresses.

I hear ya! I am not cool either, but I have made peace with that. And if it makes you feel better, I am left with the same 3 email addresses, LOL.
