Hmmm, I don't think your hideous. You're great and I love your personality. I would encourage you to at least try to make friends (I don't have many myself but the few I have I cherish). You have it harder because you are self-employed and don't interact with people at work every day (sometimes, that's a plus).

My question is why do you need friends of yours to do things with your kids? Why not do inexpensive/free things with them and let them invite their friends? Is that possible? Hubby and I are talking about going hiking some weekend (it's free) and I don't even like hiking. But I'm willing to try!

Let's think about some things we can do to make things better.

I want to help. Let me know how.
