We talked for hours today, literally, and it was nice to talk to another mom in real life, that I seem to have much in common with. <br /><br />Also, those meetings that I have started going to really help, too. They don't give me any answers, but knowing that I am not the only one who has gone through/is going through what I am is a huge comfort. <br /><br />Both of your nights sound like they were a blast. I love hearing about you laughing, it makes me smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-56643829314747286332009-07-15T14:30:03.868-06:002009-07-15T14:30:03.868-06:00Dawn, I actually get away a lot more than other mo...Dawn, I actually get away a lot more than other moms do. I go out at least twice a month with friends, then once a month for writing group. I pretty much consider my clients training at the gym a get away too - so that's at least 2 if not 8 times a week with each session lasting anywhere between 1-2 hours.<br /><br />Scary to think that I still feel like this when I get out as much as I do. I can't imagine what life would be like without these outlets.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988190251156621315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-37467832204843353992009-07-15T10:21:29.359-06:002009-07-15T10:21:29.359-06:00Love this post.

Is there a way for you to do it maybe like a few times a month? <br />Of course, I myself need to work on getting out with friends but haven't met anyone yet to hang out with yet in CO. Then again, I did just move here. But with my Mom being here she has given Ricky and I a break a few times already. <br />lol James, however, has made a new buddy (from upstairs) and believe it or not, him spending a few hours outside playing and actually behaving has helped my stress levels. <br />Anyway it's great to read that you aren't alone and you have a way of decompressing. ;)the nervous momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696938401875279166noreply@blogger.com
