its breezy outside now

ok. i went to churh today, i do most sundays, and i feel better. i have an awesome church. everybody is so wonderful. today the sermon was about prayer. after church we had our monthly potluck. this month as it is kid 1's b-day, she got her name called out and got to go through the line first; which meant i got to go with her! we got first dibs on all the good stuff. after church we had to come home to a disaster of a house. i have been harping on my oldest for some time now about her messy room and that this weekend would be the end of it. envolving several big boxes to toss in anything on the floor. so she has been lightly working on it fri and sat. she has today and that is it. we had to go around a few houses in the neighborhood first to raise funds for our girlscout troop. mr poni called while we were and he was unhappy that we werent going straight to the room. we hit just a few houses cuz its hot here again. and guess what- her floor is empty now! yeah. i even organized my craft area today- that has been on my to do list for 2 weeks. and i picked up the other kids' bed room which they share.
i love sundays. mr poni will be home from work in half an hour. and he goes in late so that means a nice family breakfast. family time is at a premium here since he works 9 am to 9:30 pm each day, since the kids have to be in bed at 8:30 that meams the only time they see him is before school. it makes it hard on all of us. most of the time i feel like a single mother. but i dont get to date. belinda and i are good friends because of that though. her husdand is a truck driver so he doesnt even come home at night. they only get to see him from fri afternoon until sun afternoon. she has 2 kids too. we like to get together during the week when our husbands are working. besides our husbands being gone all day and our kids she and i have nothing in common, but she is my closest friend here. i have been feeling very short on friends recently. i have been on the look out for some but i just dont know how to go about it. i wouldnt know what to do with a friend anymore if i had one. i have a few prospective girls that i'd like to be close friends with but i dont know how to go about it. like i said time is at a premium with my husband gone all day and i dont think woeing a new friend with all my kids will work very well. i've been there and done that. it produces friends that have other kids in common and are also short on time with families and husbands i.e. people that i have little in comon with and we never have time to get togther.
but i have the best three kids and a husband i could ask for.
wow. this last weekend really was fantastic. i was so excited to have 2 old, very close friends come out and play. that was great. i really needed that. i havent really grown up yet, as much as i pretend to, and i need some really good play time now and then. we game but that just doesnt cut it. i usually have little in common with our gaming group and its frustrating when we get together to game but never end up starting.
i should really find someone i have more in common with but that is hard to do. lets see, i'll examine this. i like art. i like my kids and my husband. i wish i was in some classes- ice skating or art. i used to read alot. i .. cant think of anything else. hmm that must be the problem. oh, and i'm 26. all my mom friends are of course a lot older than me. i'd like to have married friends my age. well, speaking of kids....i have 3 to attend to.
