When I decided to be a stay-at-home mom, I really thought that I'd be bored out of my mind. After all, there were times during summer vacation when I (almost) wished I was back at work simply so I'd have something to do. Plus, I figured that there were only so many books to read or photos to scrapbook. Boy, was I wrong.
I honestly think I'm busier NOW than I ever was before, which can probably be attributed to many of my friends also staying at home. Getting together isn't exactly an easy feat, either. Often we have to schedule time together, sometimes weeks in advance since ALL of us are busy. (I'm sure I could fit a bit more in if I would schedule full days, but I often limit us to one get together a day, and at least one day "off" a week, if only for my sanity... and downtime.)
And it's not just our schedules, but our little ones', too. Yesterday, a friend invited me to lunch with her and another friend visiting from SC. I wanted to go, but Leah's schedule wouldn't allow it. She went down for her nap just as they were heading out for lunch. Though I know Leah can fall asleep in her carseat if we're out, she sleeps better if we're home, so I try not to disrupt that.
Talking to another friend yesterday, she mentioned hearing that we women should be able to just call up a friend on a given day to get together. As much as I'd like to be able to do that, in this area, that just doesn't seem to work.
So... if you'd like to get together, please email/ call me... and we'll see if we can work something out for July.

LOL...YOUR SO FUNNY...CAN YOU FIT US IN SOMETIME IN JULY ;-)
I think Amelia and I are both thinking "I told you so" in our heads. Haha! Not to speak for her, but I'm just taking a safe hunch judging from comments you made to us prior to Leah's arrival. :)
Take it easy! I'd love a nap right now...
