i got a phone call from an old friend of mine who moved to TN a few
years ago. she's visiting in Minnesota and wants to come see me this
week!!!! OMG! i havent seen any friends in so long!!! I'M SO EXCITED! i
finally get to hang out with another adult that is not a family member,
doctor, or a social worker! adult conversation that doesnt have to
revolve around my daughter's issues!!
AND THEN!!! yep, there's more!
i got a phone call from a guy friend of mine. we've known each other
for a few years and have briefly dated on and off, pretty much when we
were both single and just plain bored LOL! but anyways, we havent seen
each other in a long time because we've been busy and he lives over an
hour away. but he called and said he misses me and wants to come over
this weekend! YAY!! we wont be able to actually go out anywhere because
i dont have a babysitter, but i dont care as long as i have some
company!! maybe i can smooch on him a little or something.. heh 
i'm just so excited, i actually have plans with friends! twice in one
week! woohoo! after the week i've had so far, this is really what i
need. 
Yi Haa!! I am so excited for you! There is life out there somewhere--you deserve a nice break and some human comfort. Let us know how it goes!
