Okay so I swear these past two days have been weird. In my head, emotions, you'd swear I was prego and hormonal- which I am NOT! C has driven me crazy- I have seen his whiny 5 yr old come out (who is more annoying than an actual whiny 5 yo b/c he is a grown man & I can't picture some of the other men I know actually acting like that). I have had too many things come back into my mind- maybe I shouldn't check facebook anymore. Exes- cute, happy, newly married (and I do mean exes- as in plural). Too many to pop in my head in one weekend. Very good thing I'm not also reading Twilight right now! I put that on hiatis (sp?) For now since I get so obsessed. Another thing that has been in my head-a lost friend, and I get irritated that she cares less for me than another friend who actually dumped her. Fine- I keep telling myself screw it, but obviously since it bothers me, there's a reason. Whatever-maybe it's she was willing to throw us away and willing to try and fight for the other. Guess life just goes on. Friendship seems to be something that is not very prevalent (sp?) in my life. Guess you could argue it's my fault. Guess you could argue it's the lifestyle-mom all the time-I live. Guess you could say it's just how things end up. Who knows, but I miss my girls. Mostly PB, KA, TS, and yeah- pretty much the 3 of you make me smile, laugh, enjoy life, and I wish we could get together for a very fun time! So that's what I wish- I need some girlfriend time. Call me up.
Oh, and happy anniversary T! Wish u many more yrs of happiness!

Lori... I know the feeling of feeling like you have lost friends when you have babies and your friends don't... usually it is not a lost friendship, but just a different season of life. You NEED to find mom friends. As much as our friends without kids like our kids and think they are adorable, they don't consider a mcdonalds with a playland a lunch out. Another mom realizes that the playland may buy you 5 minutes of grown-up conversations.
You should check out MOPs. It is mothers of preschoolers and it saved my life! Most groups have 1-2 meetings a month. Childcare is provided, then the mom goes to a different room, has breakfast (without having to share!), listens to a speaker that usually relates to marriage/motherhood, does some sort of activity and most importantly has grown-up conversations. Most of the friends I was devastated to leave in Spokane were from MOPs and all the great friends I made here were from MOPs! Look into it go to mops.org. I have a few friends in groups on the westside, I will find out where. They also have playdates on non-meeting weeks!
Being a stay-at-home mom of little ones is so hard... the only other person that can truly understand is another stay-at-home mom!
Love you.
PS... my husband sometimes acts like a 3 year old! They all do... but, I have my moments, too!
Hi Lori,
I live in Puyallup and I am a part of a WONDERFUL MOPS program.
We meet the 1st & 3rd Thursday of the month from 9:30-11:30am. Our morning is pretty much like MSB described.
You drop your kids off in the childcare, then you come for a couple of hours of fellowship and kid-free time. We get to eat a warm breakfast, chat with other moms, listen to speakers on various topics of interest and do some visiting with other women.
Here is the link for our church~
