Hello, I'm Mummy again

I feel like the new girl. Although I'm far far from it, joining in activities with child #2 is like being the new girl all over again. The big kids are all off doing their own things, Kindy, Daycare etc, and so too, their mums have their own agendas now, and there I am, left to my own devices, thrown somewhat into the deep end, right back at the beginning on the path of discovery which is making new friends.

It would be great if Lil Miss had even half as many little mates as the boy has, and with it, me, the ability once again to meet and make friends with some wonderful mothers of those cute little monkeys.

In a way, I don't want new friends, cause I like the ones I have, I feel out of my comfort zone, far from shy, yet comfortably complacent in my wee circle of 'girls', I'm finding it hard to come to terms with welcoming any more into my life.

I sat back at music this morning, like a single at a dance, checking out all who were there, "oh, she dresses well", "oh, she's a loud one", "poo, stink much", so many different faces for me to process. But I'll get there I suppose, I did it once, and now's the chance to rise to the occasion again.

And in all honesty, us mums, we're all in the same boat, waiting, watching, wanting that special someone to have a chat and ask round for a coffee.

I'm lucky to have the opportunity to be a stay at home mum. And with that in mind, I best be off, washing to fold, dishes to do!!!
