~*Friends*~

Wise WOMEN once told me... *Friends are the family you get to choose*..... How true is that?
Friends are very precious to me now a days.. where i break down and cry... where i get so angry i could burst out of my skin... where i could hug them all day... whenever i am in their presence...
This past week a playgroup i attend has been cancled until further notice...
I do have to say this past year has been a big stepping stone in my life to how i deal with things emotionally and Spiritually.. and i do have to give the credit to my girlfriends...
I never was good "with other women friends" I always got into fights with them.. competed with them... just tried to be better... But this past year God introduced me to some amazing mothers.. and amazing children... Whom have taught me so much about being a mother and gave me a good time doing it...
If it wasnt for these moms.. i would never to be able to say.. "He's ok" or not worry about my son coking because a wise woman told me God gave them really good gag refluxes.. he'll cough it up... or even put him on his belly... trust me.. hes a belly boy...
Yes.. these little things have helped me with my anxiety with being a mom.. I never thought that i would be the worry wart mother but boy was i wrong...
"I love how great this is as friends.. lets never hold anthing back and never ruin this.. i love this" as hard as this was to follow... i tried my hardest to... i promise! and because of this i have learned to not hold back!
In these times we had some pretty awesome days LOTS of hot summer days on the beach (i think it was our favorite place to be) even though at powder time we all got a bit cranky.. but on the drive home we waved good bye and said see you next week...=) (this makes me smile) or pumpkin picking with the crew... and panting them.. even if painting ourselves happened along with it... Christmas cookies GALORE up to my ceiling just so my little buddies could have some sugary fun! Valentines days and birthdays!
1 year can bring so much joy and so many laughs and tears... just to think that there is always someone out there to answer ANY question i had!
I do have to say... when i was planning my wedding.. i was scared that i didnt have "enough" friends to invite.. and was a little embarassed but God blessed me with WONDERFUL girlfriends whom helped me plan my day and took the time to sit on 3 way.. well actually 4 way for a few min even though we know it was a busy day.. just to discuss dresses and colors... all the melt downs and all the exciting times!
I would of never known how to measure my childs feet the correct way if it wasnt for these girls... or or learn whats right for me as a mother and the decisions i make are the right ones...
I love these girls... each and every one of them! They all hold a special place in my heart.. each and every one of their children hold a special place in my heart!
But i feel as if God has blessed me with this home.. to help take the stress off and invite woman into my home with their children so hopefully we can continue this friendship!
I am sorry for rambling on.. but i had so much to say and a wise woman once told me to write it all down because you can look through it and delete what you dont want... but in this one i didnt delete anything... i ment every word of it!
I <3 my playgroup moms!
