Today Max and I went to the playground again. It was a lot of fun. We went at 4 pm, the time that he usually starts having a tough time because he is not tired but he is not really too awake. Anyway, we went and just played. Max, of course, went down the slide head first. His Dad will laugh because somebody gave us one of those little slides for the yard and Scott showed him how to go down head first and so now that is what he does. Of course one mom said to me..OF YOUR KID IS FEARLESS AND I SAID, YEP, JUST LIKE HIS MOMMA.So we played and laughed and he flirted. And we actually met another mom. The first mom that I have met in my area. She is cute and we gabbed and we have done a lot of the same things with our kid and her kid is 15 Months. It was nice to meet another mom. I love traveling to Merion for our music and gym class but I often feel left out because we do not live around there. For example, typically we will finish class and the moms will say to each other..well call me later if you want to go to the park and we are a good 20 mins away and so we would not come back..oh I know..I sound like I am feeling sorry for myself and I am not but it was nice to meet somebody less than 5 minutes away from me. YEAH!It was also nice to take Max because I have been feeling like I am missing all this cool stuff with Max. I did not want to let go of my sitter after I stopped working but I have not found a happy medium yet for myself. I want to be with Max more and not lessen her hours because that would not be fair to her. So I am going to have her come one day later so Scott and I can go out on a date. We did this for 3 weeks and it was working great and I am not sure why we stopped but I think it it time to find the happy medium. Sometimes I get myself so lost and confused and the answer if right in front of me. I think hormones and lack of sleep don’t help he situation.

We went to the park today too. It was beautiful!
Going to the park is a great way to meet other moms. I met my friend K at our local park.

It’s nice to get to meet some new mommy friends- especially close to where you live.
I understand about not wanting to leave Max too often with a sitter. But, part of being a good mommy is getting some time to yourself- so you’re doing him a favor by letting yourself have a few minutes away from him.

its not about the badge says:
Oh man, I can’t wait to take E to the playground this spring……if it ever gets above -3 degrees outside. CURSE YOU MINNESOTA WEATHER!!!!!
Anywho, leaving your baby is always stressful, but it is worth it to get a break here and there!
