Talk to me!
So, what are you doing this weekend?
I'm here with a hug...or a slap, whichever you'd like.
While it feels strange to compliment you on such a melancholy post, it really is terrific. I understand. I do.
Minus the beer and finding something in another girl's smile, I'm here with ya. It's funny how the world goes on without you, and you miss it when you never thought you would.
I was wondering how you were doing since Anthony went to Chicago. I didn’t want to intrude. It’s hard when a good friend moves away and the first year or three of being an at-home parent isn’t exactly easy. You’re dealing with both. It’ll all work out in time. The boys will get older and easier to take places, you’ll gradually meet new people, and you’ll discover interests you have either forgotten or never knew you had. It just takes time and patience.
In the mean time, you have options:
1. For a good time call 555-WHIT
2. Start playing BINGO at the church
3. Volunteer to be the Red Robin bird
4. Deliver food trays to shut-ins
5. Make it big and move to Chicago (or Fredericksburg, I like beer!)
Take care.
I, too wondered how Anthony/you were faring(sp) since he moved to the Windy City. This blows. I'm sorry.
Hey, I went through these emotions roughly ten years ago when I first started staying home with the kids and found myself socially isolated.
You'll get used to it, unfortunately. It only takes about seven years.
Making up imaginary friends helps a lot.
Sorry Anthony is gone. It definitely sounds like you need to get out. Even if it's just for a day.
Perhaps a visit to the Windy City might do the trick?
It's tough when friends drift out of your life.
Well, if you'd come down and see us when we invite you...
I guess it's all just a ploy to get us to come up and see you. Or, maybe, you just don't like us. That could be it.
Don't be bummed.
In my lifetime, that's the best advice I have ever received. I feel it my duty to pass it on.
Anthony took your liquor, didn't he.
This is the post that could be written by hundreds of SAHM every day...
I feel your pain. Kinda. I'm such a recluse that even though I go to work, it is a very small office and I could stay at home easily with few repercussions. I was an only child and learned to entertain myself. I have way too many solitary interests and really don't have social interractions.
Okay, now I've admitted how awful I am... here's hoping things get better for you, soon. Maybe you need a playgroup or "mom" support group? I would think there would be something like that in your area.
Take care. We're always here if you want to talk. 
i hate it when i lose my phone too.
although i never had a pet name for it...
I hear where you are coming from about being having everything but feeling alone. Thats where Mrs. Joe's talk went last week.
I envy your ability to do this Whit. The perfect balance of sincerity and humor. This is the Reeses Peanut Butter cup of posts.
I'll drink beer and talk sports with you big brother. Move home!! Or move to Austin so I have an excuse to go there again.
Ditto, what tt said
That's not selfish, it's human. Most of the time, I'm jealous when I read about your work-at-home life. But this part of it being not-so-good, the isolation especially when your friends aren't around, I get that too. I don't know how well I'd handle it.
Not selfish at all - and I miss that "myself" too, ever since BF left town. Sorry dude.
