I feel like I have very few friends anymore. I used to have people calling me all the time asking me to go bowling or to a movie. Now? Not so much. Having a kid can make you the odd person out pretty quickly. Some of my friends from high school have kids, but most of them have 6-7 year olds, not exactly ideal for playdates. What 7 year old wants to play with a 1 year old?
I found myself in a crying fit yesterday watching a sad movie where the husband dies. I don't like watching things like that for one reason: My husband almost died...and we still deal with his mortality on a regular basis. SO due to that movie I got upset and cried, I ran to Facebook looking for comfort and the two people I ended up talking to are not really that close to me, in either way that can be taken.
One person was a girl I know from high school, I haven't seen her in person in a few years and she is pregnant with her first child. She and I are not CLOSE but we have more in common now than back then. The other person was my Husband's ex girlfriend. Ha. I still find that funny. We added each other on Facebook since Jeff and I both have friends that are exes. He is friends WITH MY exes lol. So she and I chatted and it made me feel better.
I began to wonder...Where are my local friends? I am starting to think I don't have many. There is my co-blogger from ITMB, she and I knew each other from high school. Then there are my sister in laws...does that count? From there? I have maybe one or two other girls I know well enough to call a friend and that is it. Sad.
So there is my thought for the day. Why can't my 'online friends' be my 'real life friends'?

Sister-in-laws definitely count! My sister-in-law is a close friend, for sure. :)
Also - I think blogging friendships can be very real.
