friendships

I've been meeting some awesome new people lately, but the trick for me is discerning which ones I truly want to invest my time with and call my real friends. I have so little time as it is and I feel it's nearly impossible to find the time it takes to create a real meaningful friendship and balance all of my other responsibilities at the same time. But as I get older and perhaps a little wiser I now realize it's ok to have different friends for different areas/needs in my life.

Today was my first day at the bank. I was pleasantly surprised when almost everything came back to me while opening my first account. It had been almost four years since my last banking experience, so to remember what I did tinkled me pink. Coincidently, knowing some Spanish would have been beneficial, hence my decision to take the Spanish class next month after all.  

Tonight as I prepared Brenner's snack, fixed dinner, tossed a load of laundry in the wash, emptied the trash, heated the iron for tomorrow's outfit, opened the mail, and checked accounts I wondered to myself if Brenner will think when he's grown and gone if I was a good Mother, like my Mother was/is to me. I try so hard to stay calm in our chaotic evenings during the week, but I have my moments and wish I had more patience and TIME with my sweet little boy.
