Really...I should be doing homework. I have been saying that every night this week. However, blog design takes time.
In all honesty, I've just about caught up with my schoolwork. This is good. Now hopefully I won't fail. Maybe (but not likely) I'll be on the Dean's List again. If not this semester, than maybe next.
This whole going back to school thing with a baby is incredibly hard. I had a hard time this semester knowing that I would inevitably have to send Jack to daycare in a few months. My fears have been smooshed (because I couldn't think of how to spell qualmed...it's TWO IN THE FRICKIN' MORNING) as I have successfully made a new friend AND she likes my kid. Well, in all fairness, my child is incredibly happy and easygoing. IN MY household, he's the cutest kid ever. I'm sure Amy has a different opinion in her own household when it comes to her adorable little munchkin.
It seems silly that I make such a big deal about making new friends. The fact is, I'm a little...well...blunt and that tends to rub people the wrong way sometimes. I like to think that my bluntness is a good thing. After all, I'm not going to lie to you if those jeans make your ass look huge. However, my sense of humor has been known to occasionally offend people. I'm friendly enough but my directness and sarcasm make me seem a bit unapproachable. It's because of this (and my shyness to strike up conversation with interesting people because I seem awkward and weird) that Todd pushed me to join the MOMs Club. Have I mentioned how awesome my husband is lately?
I tend to bunker down in my house and complain about how lonely I am. I do have family and even some friends. However, they're not moments away. It's very exciting to not only have friends that now live close, but it's nice that our new friends have a lot in common with us. New parents? Check. Stay at home moms? Check. What could be better?
I now have a set social event every week. On Thursdays, Jack and I get our asses out of our pajamas and go to playgroup. This is awesome. Other new moms. It's so nice to be able to sympathize with someone that has gone through what I've gone through these last six and a half months.
Oh thank god it's Friday tomorrow. Can't wait for the weekend. Bring on the keyboard! Rock Band Sunday! YAY!! (because I don't say "woot")
Just promise you'll let me know if you get sick of me, 'k? And then tell me how you made that header image.
ReplyDelete:) And here I thought I was the only one in my social group who didn't make new friends easily. *hugs* Boy do I sympathize.
ReplyDeleteI hope I'll be able to try out your moms group once my noob arrives! What is the age range of the kids involved?
Will you help me get out of the house more often once I'm job-free? I won't know what to do with myself, and I also have a bad tendency to hunker down.
Very nice work on the blog! Mine is getting a bit dusty.

ReplyDeleteI think there's one specifically for Franklin, but I bed you can join ours since you know people. Ask Amy, she's an "officer"
I totally get you. All of a sudden we are home, loving what we do, but little adult interaction. I have plenty of friends...in a different place then me right now. Searching out some new peeps is, well ackward at this age. And not everyone is going to get everything about us just because their kid is the same age as ours.
