When I was a kid, I used to go, why can't my mom make friends with my friends' parents? Why don't I have people over more often?
The older I get, the more I understand. I really do. Even the people we do like, it's hard to see much of them. I've been trying to get a couple of Herself's friends together to go to the museum with us for her birthday this weekend, and...ack! Even that's completely uphill.
Yes, this thing where our friends live in the little box on the desk is really handy, isn't it? *GRIN*
But then, last month I tried to join a local homeschooling Yahoo group, thinking, oh, I can get to know people online and then I will feel more comfortable doing stuff with them IRL...and they require that you host an activity before they'll let you join the mailing list. Um. Well, I don't think that's going to happen.
