Friends

I have some of the best friends ever!  Whenever I'm down and needing to talk, they make me laugh and brighten my mood.  When I'm feeling like maybe I'm not doing such a good job as mom, they reassure me that I'm doing good and that all parents feel that way.  The other day, I was talking to my friend Kathy about my weight loss goals and what I've been doing to achieve them.  She said, "I'm really proud of you, Cari!"  That made me feel awesome!  I love that I can truly be myself with my friends.  Whether I'm being funny and a smart ass or if I'm feeling a little snarky, they're always there.  When I've had a rough day with the kids and joke about finding the best luxury apartment rental in paris to run away to, they laugh and say they'll go with me :)  I have written posts about my husband and my kids quite a few times but I think my close friends (and they know who they are :) ) should get a little shout out too.  I'm a lucky girl to have some amazing women in my life and I love you all dearly!
