Getting Out

 

I went to lunch with a dear friend and her 9 month old girl the other day and boyyy was it nice to get out!!  Having a young baby makes you forget sometimes what its like to have some social time other than babbling back and forth with your 4 month old. Thankfully, my friend knows all about that. Don't get me wrong I love playing and being around my little one, but I think I need to fit some more time in with friends, even just once a week. Do you ever wonder if your friends (who don't have kids of their own) think your ignoring them ?  I hope they realize I'm not, its just so hard to muscle up the energy after a long day of feeding, burping, playing, changing, cooking, feeding, holding, cleaning, and more feeding to even pick up the phone let alone get a nap in for myself! But somehow in my mommy way I love this feeling. The feeling that someone depends on your love and care so much that it tires you out!! 

So this months challenge for myself and others like me is to do at least one socializing activity out of the house with a friend a week. (Grocery shopping doesnt count!!) If your already doing this, keep it up hot mama!!!
