Dear Diary… Thank goodness, I’m making MAMA friends!

Today I took Big Al to the library for Mother Goose Reading Hour… this is probably the 4th time we’ve gone… basically it’s 15 minutes of “reading” with the group of kids and then 30 minutes of letting them run around and be crazy – all while the mommies and daddies talk – AHHH…. THANK GOD!!!!!

Being there is more for me than for Big Al… meeting other moms… and other dads… and other kids… it has been HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!

Not that I am one of those women who needs women friends… you know what I mean?? Like I’m not one of those women who needs Girls Night Out… or needs to ask my “girlfriends” 100 things before I actually go out and do “something” (whatever that may be)…

But now being a Mom… I NEED THESE WOMEN! It’s comforting to know… that so and so was up with “Mason” all night because he is teething… it’s great to know I’m not the only one feeding my 2 year bottles still… it’s refreshing to know that all kids DO NOT SLEEP through the night when they reach 8 months… it’s funny to hear the poop and pee and throw up stories (not that I ever thought poo, pee and puke could be fun!)… but the truth is… Moms need Moms… we do.

And so… I thank GOD I ended up going to that first session of Mother Goose at the library – I almost didn’t go… something “made me go”… and let me just reiterate….

THANK GOODNESS I’M MAKING MAMA FRIENDS!
