If it were closer to where we are? I'd go, being unemployed at this time? There's no way gals - sorry once again.
If there is another chance for say Myrtle Beach even Atlanta? Where flights could be direct or cheap? I could get there - even may rent a car or donkey. But Chic-town is too far for this pocket.
HOWEVER - WHAT is up with this - I am painfully shy business? Huh? I'm sittin here like.......ARE YOU SERIOUS? OH MY WORD! This - you....we....I.....I just have to say this and then I'll clam up (okay for this anyway).
My whole life - I've been the underdog - the pick-ed upon - the one that didn't fit - the square peg, round hole person. The ostracized, picked last, never, no matter how much candy I passed out ever never even for that moment did I ever manage to be 'one of them' BUT I AM ONE OF YOU - finally I am one of SOME GROUP.....ONE OF PART OF SOME FAMILY - somewhere. I don't even care what the link is - I don't even care that it's because my kid is what he is....I have people that care. True we don't all see eye to eye all the time and THANK GOD...how boring would that be. TRUE we don't all meet the same economic backgrounds - which well - thank GOD again because I'm ridiculously poor, but I have a rich heart and I've gotten SO much from so many of YOUR hearts here - don't you ALL feel the same way? I mean for the first time in my LIFE - it wouldn't bother me to show up to a meeting in what I own just as I am - WHO I am-----and the only thing that holds me back - is that I just can't get there.........
So.....if you CAN get there, and MEET all these other sisters in the warrior mom world...WHY OH WHY wouldn't you go and meet them? I can't think of a room of LESS judgemental, less CRITICAL, less cliquey (i think that's a word) caring, laughing, funny, story telling (and someone please shut the door this time and not allow staff to over hear you ----I heard rumors, I heard rumors) and ENJOY EACH OTHERS LIVES...because how often do you EVER EVER MEET people like each other IN REAL LIFE??????
Seriously - except for the part where you have to sit next to someone on a plane that has germs YICK... (TAKE A BLEEPIN Bottle of sanitizer) and some hand wipes and GO!!!!! HAVE the time of YOUR life and treat yourself to WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I can't imagine where you would find a collective soul more deserving of your company.
And send me pictures......and pass the phone around again - so I can sit and cry after....it was the best call I ever got. EVER!
