She has talked me through single-parenting, dating again, remarrying, but also the basic mom-of-girls stuff, in which she is a year or so ahead of me. Thank goodness for all those free long distance minutes on the cellphone. Now if she would only get on the internet...<br />My best new friend climbed a mountain to stand up with me at my second wedding. She helped me put on a family birthday party that was mostly for my ex's family, but really for my daughter.

Sigh. However we all did the "oooo" and "aaahhhh" thing over my new suit -- $250 retail, $41 on the clearance rack. Ooooo Aaaahhhhh. Also the 45 minute cell phone calls in traffic, planning baby showers together (and saying "aren't you glad we're finished with that" while snuggling baby) (ok, we are just a tad conflicted). Dropping in unannounced and helping fold the laundry. Knowing the best "product" to remove makeup and tone skin.<br /><br />Hmmm... what else?Theresa Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134175277230355640noreply@blogger.com
