My Dear Friends

I think it's safe to say most everyone knows and can say that being a single mother is a lot of work. I am not sure how many people actually understand just how much work it can be, but nonetheless, it's fairly widely known. If you didn't know- now you do.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I keep to myself pretty well. I used to be a big partier, loved the social scene, and didn't care what time I had to be up in the morning.
About 3 months ago I made a decision. I decided that I don't have time for petty things. The important things in my life were what I was going to devote my time to. Those things were my daughter, school, work, family, and then those friends that are closest to me. Everything else could go to the wayside.
Needless to say, I have been a little more lonely than before, have less people that I call up when I am looking for something to do, but I am completely okay with it. The people that I was allowing to take up my time were stealing that time away from people I honestly cared about, and it wasn't fair.
I would like to think that my friends know how important they are to me, and that I would do anything in my power for them, but I know that I am not the best at communicating these things. This is something I am working on. I think it will be a life process for me because it's quite honestly something I have dealt with my whole lifetime.
I am really excited for whay my future holds. There are so many great things to come. I am so happy and excited to share these things with the people that I care the most about!

Thank You, you know who you are.
