How much does my son, the Wise Ass, love me? Apparently more that the entire uni-wors!

In Honour of Women's Day..
My life would be dead and incomplete without my circle of strength and trust; my girlfriends. I am lucky to have strong, loyal and honest woman in my life who ground me, make me laugh; help dry my tears and who give the most invaluable advice. I would be nothing without them.
Most women are blessed to have one or two of these wonderful friendships in their lifetime. My cup runneth over with not one, or two, but 6 best friends. Who also all know each other, and all get along fabulously. Our brunches, dinners and nights outs are more imaginatively debauched than Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda’s could ever be.
We celebrate our children and share in each other’s pride. We respect each other’s relationships with our significant others (whether it be husband, boyfriend, or one night stand). We give each other love, support, advice, wine and chocolate. Sometimes in that order, sometimes the chocolate comes out for no reason at all besides the fact that it’s Tuesday. We spoil the pregnant, and we adore the babies. We mourn the losses and we help build each other back up after devastation.
There is no jealousy, and there is no back-biting or fighting. We are all very different women who enjoy the diversity of our group. We are married, single, co-habiting, divorced, with children, and without. And the honesty with which we treat each other always allow us room to talk about what’s bothering us, and we are not afraid to say the things to each other that we all sometimes desperately need to hear. It’s always an eye opener to view yourself, or something you did, through the eyes of someone else. And I for one appreciate that kind of truthfulness. It can help us stop making stupid mistakes all over again, it can help break bad habits and help us see our lives from a different perspective.
So to the wonderfully fabulous Girlz who make every day worth getting up for.. Thank you, I love you. You know who you are…
