I have never been the life of the party. I'm quiet and shy and just enjoy sitting back and being entertained by the fun people. I've never been a strong leader. I go to work, do my job, do it well and then go home and forget about it. I am happy to let others take responsibility and the glory for a job well done. I probably not that easy to get to know - which could possibly explain my lack of friends.
Most of the time I'm happy going unnoticed. It's comfortable. I can control my own little world without having to worry about living up to somebody else's expectations. Ya know - Live and let live. It's all good.
It is nice however, to feel like you're somebody to someone.
With the kids growing up and doing their own thing, a step daughter who doesn't care if she ever sees me again and a husband who is studying for a new career, I sometimes feel like the only time I'm noticed is when I do a load of whites when really what everybody needed was jeans. "Oh, and Mom, I need money for the dance and I really didn't like what was in my lunch yesterday, and could you please proof-read this for me after you do the grocery shopping? Did you forget to buy syrup? The cat puked again and it's not my turn to clean it up. Maybe you'd have more energy if you got in shape!"
Sometimes, it's lonely being invisible.
