Looking

Trying to start a trend where I am updating this blog at least once a week, and definitely on Fridays.

Today we received our tax return money. I am relieved. We will be able to catch up and even go ahead on some bills as well as get other needed things for ourselves, kids, and apartment.

I am betting this will not be a long blog post just because I do not have much to say. I will say that just in these few days of my distance from fb and twitter and mainly my birth board groups on facebook, I have had time to get a few things done. I have been able to clip and organize my coupons a bit better as well as send some coupons that I will not need to people who will use them. I have also taken time to write here, of course, and time to decorate the boys room a bit. I have put artwork that they get from school up in their room on the walls. The idea just came to me. (laugh). I guess I will have a lot of ideas coming to me because I will not be sitting on the computer or on my phone staring at facebook. It is liberating. But I do still find myself looking. I am looking for someone who has the same interest as I do, someone who has similar struggles, someone with a similar background. See now I have taken away my main way of socializing, facebook, but I have not replaced it with anything as of yet. So I do feel a bit empty because of it. But I know as I find other things that interest me, and I began to take part in other activities that I will find moms, and women that I can find true friendship in. I do have a few friends. But I just can not seem to find the time to spend time with them. I think maybe I need to work with the friends I do have instead of searching for new ones. I can not seem to keep up with the few I do have, so why am I looking?
