I know who I want to take me home...

I just want to clarify something from the previous post. The part about losing my best friend in the divorce. Obviously I'm not talking about my ex-husband, although there was a time when I considered him my best friend. Scary... I'm not the least bit sad about losing him, I was referring to someone else and I realized "best" probably isn't the right word, especially considering the circumstances under which I lost him. "Favorite" is probably a better word. He was my favorite friend. I seem to have a knack for attracting people who treat me like crap. Why is that?
I've started over in the friend department before, that doesn't scare me. And maybe now I'll have better luck. I really need to find some women more like me. Women who are mothers, and love being mothers, but understand that it's important to still want a life of their own. Women who are willing to get a babysitter every once and awhile (or leave the kids with their father) and get out and do something fun. I have no idea where to find these women in real life. I've found several online and they have been lifesavers in the bad times but we can't exactly meet up for drinks on Saturday nights...
