Gal pals

On and off over the years my hubby and I have debated the idea of our family moving closer to his work.  (He has a long commute.)  I have dug my heels in and said no in every possible way.  I tried to explain to him the incredible relationships I have made with many at home haus fraus (and working haus fraus) while living in our little town.  I know that if I needed anyone, at anytime to help me or my family, at least 10 gal pals would be there for me in a flash.  This safety net/support group is something to be honored, celebrated and appreciated!  It's not easy to be a wife and mother in this world.  It's a lot of ups and downs....... sometimes more ups and sometimes more downs.  But no matter what, on this rollercoaster of life, we have our friends.  I can't imagine where I would be without these sisters of domesticity by my side.  And for that I am forever grateful!

...and if I have anything to say about it, you won't be going anywhere...you are the fourth and FINAL family that has lived in that house since I've lived here!! You have brought charm to that house...your laugh (which I love)carries over to my house in the summertime when you're sitting on your porch...and the list goes on and on....yeah, that's right GAL PAL...you're staying put!! LYLAS!! (in case you didn't know, that's computer lingo for Love Ya Like A Sister!! :))

P.S. Plus the fact NO ONE makes margaritas like I do and you know it!! ;)

Ironic that the day after you post this your son gets strep and you need a gal pal to bring you medicine, gatorade and a hot cocoa!
