I admit, I love Sex and the city. I am going to the cinema tomorrow with some friends to see it, and I cant wait. But it's got me thinking. What about me? I am a working mother of three. I own my own business. I study full time. But it appears to me that life seems to be focused on the trials and tribulations of single people.
I have to say, that I would never give up what I have, I love my life, but that doesn't mean it is easy. I sometimes feel as though I am being left behind. Let me explain...
I have responsibilities. I wouldn't trade them for the world, but sometimes I miss not being included in my friend's girly nights. In our group, I am the Miranda. I have the kids. I have the busy life. I dont have the time or the financial freedom to take off for the weekend. And sometimes, I dont want to. I want to be at home with my gorgeous man and kids. I know that I am not alone in this. I make my decision to stay at home, for two reasons. Firstly, I love being at home. I think I am getting too old for nightclubs. Secondly, there is nothing worse than when you are the only 'married' friend in a group of single friends... you all have different agendas. I guess it is the same as being the only single friend amongst married ones. Why is it that the grass is always greener on the other side?
A night out on the booze is great while it lasts, but the next day is hell. The headaches, the dehydration and the bad memories of the night before. Maybe I am getting too old? Or maybe I am just greedy...do I just want the best of both worlds?
