Friends
I miss having girlfriends...I used to have female friends that I could hang out with, go dancing with, chat about guys and shoes and Girl Stuff...then I got married and pregnant and had a baby and wasn't able to go out much and didn't have money to go out and my friends moved on....to the north side of town, to CA and OR, and I'm stuck here with just my husband and the very few guy friends who don't care that I'm married with a kid.
And it sucks.
I know that some of it is the fact that my husband has a rather abrasive personality and people don't want to spend time with him, but at least some should want to hang out with me. This was really brought home when I noticed that people are talking about my "friend"s wedding on May 1st and I realized that I didn't even get an invitation. I don't know what happened but it really hurts. It makes me feel like crap and makes me want to pack up myself and my son and run away...leave my husband and all my troubles and move somewhere to start fresh. But I know that would be stupid... I just need to go out and make new friends...I just don't know where to go.

Turns out I did get sent an invite to the wedding but about half of her invites never made it through the mail. So at least that issue is cleared up.
