Misfit

Im currently in the middle of three or four different projects. Painting the inside of a few of my kitchen cupboards, which I realize many do not see my rationale for that, but believe me they needed it!, sorting through the library for more things to sell in my attempt to cross off a couple of more items from my 101 project, printing out the kids schoolwork from the school's website, thats finally working!, and still in my exercise clothes from the gym. So in the middle of my madness the kids are still gone so I have ample of time to think.

Last night Dennis and I were chatting about the difficulty I might face if I was to move out of this area and whether I would miss my friends and family. I told him that I didn't see it being that much of a problem. With my kids still needing to see their father I would have ample of opportunity to see my family on a regular basis. Besides my sister escaped years ago, my turn! So that leaves my friends. As of more recently I have started to get more plugged in at church. Most, well all of my closest friends, have moved out of the state.....and I don't blame them, so with the needed change of churches and my new circumstances in life (being single again), I have really started getting active in church activities again. But, where does a single mom of four children fit in? Good question. One I really don't have much of an answer for. I still have other friends in the area. After serving in ministry for as long as we did, we made a ton of friends but they are all married. Where do I fit in on that. Don't get me wrong there are a few of my friends here locally that ignore the fact Im 'lopsided' and invite me to regular get togethers, but still, that makes the numbers odd instead of even. I find that humorous just typing that up....I make the event 'odd'. :) Anyhow, so that leaves my newly created single friendships from the church. But for the most part, they all haven't been married yet, or if they have they don't have children. So again I ask, where does a single mom of four children fit in? The answer I have is this, Im simply a misfit :P. Enough said!
