Today is a good day.
The sun is shining, and the kids and I are going to go outside after a bit and work in the garden and play in the water. I let my little son make blueberry muffins for breakfast, he did a remarkably good job if I do say so myself.
I actually sent that email yesterday, after much trepidation, but I received the response I expected, along with, "couldn't you have figured this out while you LIVED in SF?" I had to giggle at that, because those are my thoughts exactly. Except that in the end, it does come down to my kids. If I had figured it out then, I would have not had my kids. My kids are hands down the best thing in my life, so there you go.
I am feeling more peaceful about it though. I was never really worried about her reaction to it, I knew what it would be, but it was just hard to say it out loud to someone I care about. As much as I love my blog, this is my real life.
Just her knowing, is a relief in the sense now there is someone in my life, besides "her" that knows. There is someone I can talk to if I need to, and that someone knows me better than anyone else. She's known me since I was a kid, and knows my crap and will call me on it without a moments hesitation.
So there you have it. We will see what today brings.
OC, there is something extremely special and intimate...and priceless...in knowing that your best friend knows everything, isn't there? It's a release, it's knowing that you have that One Special Someone in your life that you can pick up the phone and call at whatever hour and express yourself without censorship.

I agree with all of the above. Having just one good friend that you can really talk to about anything can mean all the difference.
