new friends?
You know how you meet some new friends (maybe potential new friends, let’s not be presumptuous here) and you’re all, Oh! Go look at my blog — send me an e-mail and we’ll try to get together. And then you remember — right.
We’ve had lice for the last two weeks — as you know, because I won’t shut up about it. But at least I’m not going on and on about Wacky Dog, or my Late Father. So that’s something! (And technically, we’ve been bug-free for about a week. However, we have to pretend like we still have it and panic, treat away for two more weeks. Because you never know. And it’s enough to make an OCD person such as myself get more wacky-cuckoo than she already is. Can you relate?), well, can you? Probably not.
Then you realize HA! These new (potential) friends, with their cute little guy who looks just like Wacky Boy and is so sweet and funny, and they live in your old neighborhood, where you grew up, which is sooooooo cool — anyway. Why would they want to hang out with you, ya Lousy Wacky Family? I mean, get real.
(Note to self: Stop sharing blog address with random strangers. Especially if they’re nice.)

I could start the list about why you are so good at making friends:
1) you have made me both cry and laugh really hard and I only just met you
2) you are a proud radical
3) your kids are beautiful
4) you have great ideas like dive in movies in your backyard
5) you busted PPS on their stupid lice policy and didn’t go for the shame game
6) your kids are fabulous apples to apples players
7) you made a fuzzy pink scarf for your niece
8) your blog has recipes AND political commentary
9) you are in trouble with the principal
10) you are really funny
11) you are really cool
12) you are outraged and anyone who isn’t these days is not watching closely
13) You like poetry
14) You obviously adore your family
Love another really tired mom who is on day 6 of her husband being out of town.
