The longer I'm a mama, and a SAH one, at that, I'm finding that few others share the same need as I do...to get out of the house! I am not one to be indoors all day, be super crafty, or look at the same white walls for hours. I suppose some peoples' kids keep them so busy that they don't have time or energy to get OUT, TOO, but I've found that my one (for now) little boy just goes with the flow pretty well.
Being a very energetic person, and not wanting to spend all day cleaning the house when it's a sty, I get it done fast so I can do something FUN! This is probably why as a kid my own mama complained that I did half-jobs instead of a thorough cleaning. Probably true, but life is about more than having a spotless house, and now that I keep my own house, I can make my own rules. Yes!
So, is there anyone out there who agrees that they're trapped in their house too often? Do you want to have a playdate? Or a grocery-shop-together date? Or come over for tea/coffee? I'm so open and I always like to make new friends! If you're reading this and you know someone who feels the same way, please pass along my name and number as I would love to meet them!
I always enjoy my time with you Chelsie! But with three kids, I don't have the time I used to. :) It will get worse once Faye is in school and I'm going back and forth and involved in more things.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we are just at different stages of life. But that doesn't mean that I don't like to have fun and get out more. I enjoyed chatting with you on Tuesday at the party. And by the way...you were completely right about Luke. There is nothing to worry about. :) Thanks for the advice!
