Am I overreacting?

[Guest guest]

I'm pretty hurt right now. We are moving to a new house about 40 miles away on

Sat. I can not find ANYONE to watch my 3y old and 19m old while we move and

clean. I am NC with my family, and my husband's family lives in another state. I

asked my best friend if she could watch them for 1/2 a day, either morning or

afternoon. She said no. To be fair- her husband has been away on a business trip

for 10 days and her kids are a handful so I know she's very tired. Plus I am

sure they are dying to spend time with their daddy. I just wonder why my kids

can't join in the fun for 1/2 day when they know we really need help? I am not

sure if this is hurtful or if I am hypersensitive. I am always telling myself

that my friends are my family since I have no real FOO. I struggle with this as

I feel lonely a lot because of this. My friend is always telling me I am family,

but I just feel in my heart of hearts if I was her " real " sister she would help.

Not sure of this is just a flea. Any thoughts?
