Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" <blockquote><b>Quoting K.MarieAnnette:</b>" that's totally fine, too. if you don't ... [snip!] ... old times with my some of my old friends ...BUT I get jittery and anxious without my son..I can't enjoy it if I'm away too long"

Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" <blockquote><b>Quoting K.MarieAnnette:</b>" i was never the "go out" kind of type. ... [snip!] ... friends or family. When my fiance is off we do a lot more  . I wish I had mountains nearby and a river that sounds gorgeous!"
