When I was a first SAHM, I felt so isolated and alone - with the same kind of old college friends and none of them had kids. I joined a local mom's group of same age-ish woman and most of us stayed at home with our kids. I don't know what I would have done without that but I also didn't have writing on my side yet either. Maybe you can find one where you live to meet up with the kids for a playdate? Or, I'll give you my number and you can tell me about your good stuff!! I am usually the listener, too and so many people don't shut the hell up! It's nice when you find a friend where there is actual balance. And, talk about a RUDE comment. Whatever, Tony - go get drunk and pass out at a BBQ, that's classy! LOL!
