I have a VERY important question . . .

How many of you were as naive as me to think that once you got out of high school the concept of cliques no longer would apply to your everyday life? WELL . . . I'm very unhappy to report they are alive and well and exisiting within the suburban housewife.

What is it in our psyche that makes some women feel the need to travel in packs and purposely ignore or decide to ignore other mothers for what ever reason?

Maybe men go through this too . . . but seeing as I'm not a man . . .

Actually . . . I did ask my hubby once about how often he spent time with his co-workers outside the office. Did he consider any of them friends? He said he does occasionally, but most of his co-workers who he has become friends with have moved on and he doesn't see them that often.

I guess the real question for me is . . . how many friends do I need to have in my life?

I do have two best childhood friends (who both live on the East Coast) . . . and two very good friends who I went to HS with (who both live in CA, but neither within an easy distance) . . . I haven't kept in touch with any of my college roommates . . . and now it hard for me to say I have any real BEST FRIENDS who I go out with regularly.

And for some stupid reason I feel like I'm missing out . . . I wish I knew why . . .

Of course I can't forget that I do have a TRUE best friend . . . my hubby. The man who's made the past 19 1/2 years of my life very interesting.

Kids #1,2&3 are all doing okay. Thank Goodness!
