Friends

This past week has brought it blaringly to my attention that my friends are all long distance. I can name 3 friends in town and they have lives that are settled and full of other friends. We have just us. We've focused so much of our lives on ourselves as a couple and our kids as parents that we've just never seemed to move into a group of friends. When we go home to visit, the majority of our trip is focused on our family. We have older grand parents that we want to visit, we have parents that we want to spend time with, and we want them to spend time with our kids since they are not living close to them like we did growing up. We get to see our brothers and sisters and their kids and love that, but it never seems to be enough time for us to get out and be with our friends. I've been away from home for 12.5yrs now. My friends have come and gone from "home", and for me My home is a place that the majority of people come back to.
We have not gone home to live. I think some of me would like to but I do like it here in this home. We like the area nd the weather, we get it all, -40C to +40C and it's fun.
Friends, That we seriously have to work on. Also speaking of WORK, I still have to work on that aspect of my life. I NEED A JOB! I had planned to go out yesterday afternoon and get some resume's dropped off but no go. I Wanted the oldest and hubbie to get out skiing. They did and they had fun! today I have all 3 boys home with me, that's fun too. We might get to hit the slopes that are our front yard, and I wish our neighbours would come over and enjoy that with us but they seem to have a very different life. I wonder what exactly they see about us that is so very different?
Maybe it's a communication barrier? hmmmmmmm It could be? I guess? maybe? Perhaps but Pour quoi?
