mommy and sons social life!!

I have now been officially been accepted into a mommies group! yay!!!
Honestly it was alittle exciting, it was like getting accepted into a group you've been on the outside looking in!
IN: Social Life
OUT: Becoming a Hermit!
Being a mom everyone knows you can only speak the language of your child for so long until you go nuts over watching spongebob for the fifteenth time! Everytime we move its hard to make friends in a new place. In highschool it wasnt so hard, I had my twin and the people I knew from the schools before. But being a military wife this is what we do. Its easy for my husband to make friends because he has to work with them, and you get all types of different characters, really its like looking into a bag of skittles lol youre not really sure what type of flavor your gonna get! I literally have moved 4 times in being married for 4 years. When i moved to South Carolina it was soooo hard. It was the first time that i moved away from my family, friends, and comfortableness! I actually went through a depression stage lol. So, what did I do? I did the brave thing and put myself out there and joined a mommies group. Believe me at first I was scared, I was scared that they werent going to be like my old friends that i wasnt going to be comfortable around them. And to be honest I was standoffish at first. I also was scared of making new friends and wondering if they were going to turn on me behind my back, or not like me, or worst think bad about me! But actually it was the complete opposite! They were just like me, going through the same things i was and i created a bond with two of them i will never forget! Before i knew it we were great friends going to lunch, going on walks to support each other for losing weight (while talking crap about the skinny chic who just ran past us lol) , and going to each others kids birthday parties.
So i'm excited that i'm joining a new one today because I cant wait to create that bond again with some new women! The funny thing is, is that I live in a military town so most of the moms are part of the military as well and they will know what im going through ;).
Last time i lived in this town i was literally a hermit. I didnt care to join a playgroup and i just stayed home with my kid and we did our own thing. But the thing is I need to get out there and let my son and I become social! I really think the moms groups help me to become a better person. And shoooooot who doesnt want to becomes friends with me? Im the bomb! lol If you are scared to get to know someone or live in a place to where you dont know anyone....you need to get out there and try to get to know people!! Honestly its easy and the people you are getting to know are just as scared as you are. So im putting myself out there today and getting to know some new women in a playdate and let my son make some friends =)
