So the breakthrough has happened! I met and exchanged info with two new stay at home moms today in the snuggles and struggles class! Yes!! I overheard two moms last week (or was it two weeks ago, I can't remember) about staying home and taking the year off. Unfortunately it was as I was leaving and Lilly was having a meltdown. So today I asked Debbie, the facilitator, if she knew of any other mom groups. She gave me a few but also suggested just meeting other moms in class and exchanging info. Well, toward the end of the class, Debbie brought over a new mom, who lives really close to me. And I was already talking to someone else, who also stays home, she's actually Canadian and gets a one year leave from her company because she's an ex-pat and technically on Canadian payroll. It's awesome. So we all exchanged numbers and email addresses, I had Lilly in one hand and had to put her on the mat so I could write the info. As I gleefully told Mark about my two new friends, I related to him my nervousness on getting in touch with them. I don't want to come off as too desperate, but I would love to have stay at home mom friends to meet up and walk, do lunch, etc. And they are both new moms. So all is good. I might not email them tonight, but definitely tomorrow!
