I am new to this board and kind of new to The Bump in general. I have been reading posts for quite a while but just got a computer at home after a few years with out one so I am loving being able to talk with every one I have been reading about for so long.
I am 39 (almost 40) and have an 8 month old little girl. Her name is Giavonna but we just call her punkyboo. Not sure how that started but I think it was back in my really sleep deprived first couple weeks of being a new mommy.
I live in South Bend, IN and would love to be able to get together with other mommys from this area for a play date or just to talk mommy talk anytime. I work full time and and going back to school to finish my Culinary Arts degree, plus feel like I am a single parent most of the time. DH works nights during the week and works all day on the weekends on his own business. Any company from others is greatly appreciated. I do have family and friends in the area but I feel as though they really get tired of the talk about my Punkyboo all the time, I can't help it everything new she does I want to talk about.
I was also wondering if any of you know of a Mommy and Me class or something similar in the area?
TIA

Culinary Arts is fun and challenging every day. When I was 30 I decided to go for it. I can't believe that I am going on 40 and I am still not done but life seems to always get in the way of my school. I am taking 2 classes this semester (what was I thinking?)
