It's worth it to show up each week, and in some sense lead a social group, because all these moms need you more than you realize. And that doesn't even count the ones you haven't met yet.

In my head I am still a social person. This was my number fear when I was pregnant that I would become isolated. I live in an urban area, walk to stores, so that helps. But, it's really easy to put. I think last minute is best. Plans seem so hard. Oh, Mel I hear you. In my head I am still a social person. This was my number fear when I was pregnant that I would become isolated.

Now it's all I do, and usually happily. I'm just so tired after caring for a toddler all day. And when in the past I have tried to make plans with my friends, I either get a no from those with kids, or frustration from my still single friends due to my limited windows of free time . So it's easier just to do nothing. I keep wondering if someday I'll get a social life back. Before baby, I would have gone crazy staying home every night watching TV.

Just getting to the store can be such a draining chore! I find I only hang out with friends in my "zone." If they live in the city like I do, then we can be friends. If I have to drive 20 mins out of my zone, forget it. We can't be friends unless you come to my place. It's just too hard to coordinate with three kids and nap schedules and my overall lack of motivation and energy to do anything beyond my back yard! And PS, I would LOVE to hear your red carpet stories!! Isn't it much harder since you live in LA, right? Just getting to the store can be such a draining chore!
