I read an article once about how important it is to have different types of friends in your life. Some that are in the same stage of life to sympathize with your situation, some that are older to give advice, some that are younger to keep you energized, etc. My friend Jaclyn is one of those wonderful friends who I can hang out with to get my mind off diapers and tantrums. She is young and fun and has no babies. And she's always so sweet to ask about the girls and tell me how pretty they are, but then the rest of the time we talk about all the other things I forgot existed- cute shoes, tattoos, religion, hairstyles, sailors. It's refreshing to spend time with her. Thanks, Jaclyn, for letting me hang out with a cool chic like you tonight! :)
