Clouds in My Coffee

Good Friday morning! I guess this is my last weekend of freedom since school starts back for me on Monday. I am really looking forward to this semester, believe it or not! I sometimes wonder if I am doing myself any good by going to school. My poor kids think I have abandoned them when class is in session because I am gone so much. I know, it is one of those sacrifices that we all have to make in life, but I just hate missing so much time with them.

I have been having some issues with one of my friends and I am not sure what to do about it. She and I have been friends for almost 3 years now and we were unseparable for a long time. We have a lot in common, we get along great, and I love her to death. But you see, she has been unfaithful in her marriage and her husband now knows about it. They are both very miserable in their marriage, they fight all the time, but they think that staying together is the best thing for the children. In a way, I agree with them. But, if they are so unhappy, it is going to reflect on the kids too. I am not so sure that this is the best thing for them. She and I have talked about it several times and she says that if she has to be unhappy for her children to remain in their home, then she will. That bothers me. The kids are both very unhappy...you can see it in their eyes. And now, my friend is shutting me out. It upsets me. She is shutting everyone out. Her husband won't "allow" her to go do anything...not even just lunch with me or scrapbooking at my house. I hardly think that is right. Granted, she has been unfaithful and he has some trust issues with her, but why keep her imprisoned in her own home? I just don't know what to do. I feel as though I am losing her friendship and she needs her friends right now. She has lost her job because of the affair too. The whole thing just keeps snowballing. My goodness...what is a girl to do?!?

Well, I guess I have rambled on enough about that. Thanks for listening! Here is my Friday Five:

1. Do you wear any jewelry? What kind?
Yes, I wear jewelry! I wear my wedding ring on one hand and one of my other rings on my right hand...just depends on what clothes I am wearing. I also wear a watch and earrings. I have two holes in each ear, so I usually wear something small and then the usual earrings to go with whatever I am wearing.

2. How often do you wear it?
Every day!

3. Do you have any piercings? If so, where?
I only have piercings in my ears...I'm too chicken to get them anywhere else!

4. Do you have any tattoos? If so, where?
No tattoos...once again, I'm too chicken to get one!

5. What are your plans for the weekend?
I have no plans for this weekend. I just want to stay home and spend time with my husband and my kids before I go back to school next week.
