I am in my hometown Kuwait from a month now, I returned after almost a year n a half of Dubai and yes!! it is a welcome change from the every day routine of a "drama queen of a housewife" that I have become (that's right I could exaggerate for hours about any silly thing). And I was very much excited to come back and spend time with old friends and unwind a bit, organize those reunions and chat about those old days that I miss so much.....But alas!! it looked like I was the only one who was excited about it.
After a lot of unanswered texts and calls, I decided to blog about it...
I wondered, how I lost so many of my friends that I used to have, many of them colleagues and many from school/college..... is it me or them?? Am I too difficult to hang out with, (given two kids) or have they found better cooler friends?? has my absence made them immune to my charms??
Then I remembered that one time, I had asked my mom as to why she does not go out with her friends instead of always being with us and she had said, she forgot to make friends while she was busy raising us. I knew my question had made her cry and that's why I don't want to be in that situation ever!!
Agreed, raising kids is not an easy thing, and there is not a single minute where you are not preparing for the next thing on the "to-do list" or saving a situation from going out of control.. but I don't want to end up friendless ever. That's why I am gonna let go off of all you old friends who don't want to keep in touch anymore and make myself some new friends. You all can enjoy your jobs, boy friends, cars and vacations while I try to make some mommy friends who can kick ass!!
