(special K...STUPID DIET)
As many of you know I recently (OK almost a year now) moved from Georgia to Florida. I have basically lived my entire life in Georgia. I consider my self to a belle and or a peach. For this I am truly proud. When my husband and I decided to move to Florida (contrary to rumor ha ha) it was because of the job opportunity he was offered could not be passed up. This job has not only helped rebuild our financial state but also allow me to be a stay at home mom for longer than ever thought possible. I thank my husband everyday for the chance to be with my daughter day in and day out. However... I miss everything about Georgia. I miss the crappy weather, the southern charm, the familiarity, and most of all my friends and family (God love'm). I have been a social person my whole life. I really don't know that I have ever REALLY met a stranger. But when we moved to Florida I get asked where I am from like I am a foreigner, I'm guessing my accent. Which on a side note never really thought it was that thick, just saying. I worked up until having the baby and met a few people, all whom are great. I have something in common with all of them. But oddly no ones schedules match...this has never happen to me before. I can not seem to coordinate with one person but maybe once a month. IF THAT!!! I miss my girls, miss the guys, miss football parties, bonfires, Atlanta shopping, sporting events, concerts, miss having two bars in my neighborhood, heck I even miss everyone's petty drama....OK that last one I could do without but you get the point. I guess I am so tired of feeling isolated. My husband does the best he can but your girl friends are like no other (as previously mentioned in another blog). I know that we will be here for a minute and I need to suck it up and make the best of it... CHEERS TO ALL MY GIRLS!!!!!!! OK and my guys too!!!
Um.....don't miss the drama! It's pretty much SSDD. ;D
ReplyDeleteTry to join the local Gymboree. That is how I met all of my new mommy friends. It was a great way to get out of the house, entertain my kid, and socialize. I had Colin when I was 22, and none of my other friends were mommies yet. Hugs to you!
