Meredith - your 5 years..

[Meredith]

I watched ‘Meet the Robinsons’ this weekend too! My five year old loves that movie and we hear "I have a big head, and little arms...I'm not sure how well this plan was thought through" on a daily basis. Mostly after we tell him do something.

Sorry, off topic. Although...maybe if your H asks you something ridiculous you can put S5's logic to use.

Ah, the single friend dilemma. Yep, been there and done that. Back to the group recommendation. Is there a running group in your area - maybe organized through a local gym or in your 'community education' flyer/booklet/thingamabob that shows up quarterly at our house? Is there a local tennis club that offers cheap lessons? Are there a lot of Sunday open houses that you can go to for real estate finds? Find group activities and then you don't have to feel like the third wheel or like you're pulling someone out of the house. OR, focus on a project. My weekend projects with the children gone include(d) cleaning the basement, organizing the garage, etc. Granted, I have a sickness and actually like that nonsense, but nonetheless. Now if I had a weekend to myself I'd focus on the photography I'm trying to establish as a hobby.

You're doing so well, I'm so proud! It is all about YOU!!
