How many of you young parents feel like you are just trying to survive? I know I feel that way sometimes! I try and think of the last time I did things with friends just for fun, and I draw a blank. Oh, you know, there are the playdates where you get to talk to the other mom, but that just isn't the same thing! I keep thinking I would like to something more often with old friends, but the weeks and months just fly by. I try to count the time since I last saw my best friend from high school, and I can't remember when it was. Five or six months, I think.
There are days that are lots of fun (like the fair below), and I do enjoy spending time with my kids. I don't get enough dates or adult time, though. If I do have "adult time," it's usually because I'm off showing houses to clients or attending continuing education classes for real estate. I do enjoy it, but it's not exactly a leisure activity.
And I guess I do go walking with my friends...I have been too busy to do that this week. Maybe that's part of my problem. It has been a very long time since Ben and I got out without kids!
So let's get together and have some fun!

Hold on, the next couple of years are going to feel like that but it does get better.
Ohhh, do I ever empathize!
