Not quite as exciting as Hollywood...but I just sent an email to this chick I met on my stroller walk a while back. I went out twice with a bunch of moms that I met through her and then it kind of fell off. Well, I'm going stir crazy some days being SAHM and so far from my family (well, not as far as some of you guys, they are 45 minutes away with no traffic). So, I emailed this chick asking about the moms group in my area. I need to start branching out...and fast before I go nuts! Anyone else relate to this at all? Or is it just me???
Re: Confession of another sort
I can! I took the kids to a play area at the mall near us and ended up chatting with a mom who's kids are 5 months older than DS and 2 weeks older than DD. I asked her to my place for a playdate. We had a great time and she invited me to be in her book club. We do things occasionally outside of book club as well.
You have to just put yourself out there. The benefits can be awesome. I felt weird telling people I met this chick at the mall, but that's just how easy it is to chat up other mom's with kids.
Hope it works out for you to do more things with her! Especially with the winter months coming on, you gotta be able to get out of the house!
