I heard it said very well by a girlfriend just last week... She is a team mom for her kids baseball team, she tells me she sets up her chair away from the other moms when I ask why.. she says " I have enough friends, I sure do not need to add more... and sure not the competitive physco stay at home mom ones. Humm I say.... my kiddo plays ball with a few of those as well. I left thinking the rest of the week on that conversation. Not sure if they even have to be the stay at home mom ones they come in all shapes and sizes...
Ya know maybe there really is that age where you just settle into life...mid life and enjoy the crap out of it. You know where you don't have to impress the other 20 somethin's by drinking like a fool or who worry yourself sick about who is mad at you... you don't have to keep up with the "jones" like to 30 somethin's go on big trips and buy big houses. Yeah 40 somethin' you wear flip floppers, drink a few beers, tell people to go to hell if they piss ya off . You know "say what cha mean and mean what cha say", enjoy your kids and keep right on truckin...go to the lake and know you have close friends & family you have had for years and years they know where you stand and you know where they stand you have that love/ love relationship. At the end of the day isn't that all you really need?? If you bump into a cool person along the way congratulations, if not, well no loss. Seems like maybe we should just start life in our 40 somethin's and go backwards.... Wonder what the 50's somethin's bring us??
Heck, I enjoy this not being wrapped up or worried about others bullshi@ and really removing myself from it... my girlfriend has kiddos a little older than mine and she has quite the humorous stories to tell about Crazy A@@ people. We will be real good Old Ladies laughing in our rocking chairs some day...
