Mother’s Group: Becoming the social butterfly

admin | September 20, 2008

So, I joined the mother’s group today.  I went to my first official meeting where we took votes on things, and the kid’s reigned total havoc in the church basement.  There was also a guest speaker there talking about mother’s issues.  I was scared it was going to be a Desperate Housewives scene, but it really wasn’t.  It was surprisingly pleasant.

Unexpectedly, I think I might enjoy this a lot.  They’re very active in the community, and they’re organizing food drives for Thanksgiving, a coat collection for children in need, and getting folks to donate toys for Christmas among many other things.  I’m actually pretty impressed with how thoroughly they’re run and structured as a non profit organization.  Recently, I’d been praying for a way to help people, to be given that ability:  this might be it.

The social dynamic is pretty good, too.  There are mothers of all different ages and walks of life.  I’m impressed with who they are and what they’re doing with their time.  I’m hoping this is going to be a beautiful thing, where I can have this surrounding group of women who are in the same place that I am.  It’s exciting in a way.  My mom always talks about a dear friend who had children of a similar age, and how much it meant to her to have someone to reflect with about the obviously challenging events that comprise raising children.  I hope I don’t get too optimistic, because that always destroys me, but I think this might be a very very good thing.

Good for you! That sounds amazing. Now that I'm working

Good for you! That sounds amazing. Now that I’m working part time I was thinking of joining the Golden Gate Mothers Group. Keep the reports of non-catty and reaffirming experiences coming! ;-)

I think you are blessed with energy and endurance.

I think you are blessed with energy and endurance. I would really like to always have the “get up and go” you seem to have. Some days I can go and do a lot and some days I am so “blah”. (And I’m sure you get those days too). In other words, I strive to do more like you, so I can be a better mommy. So I say run with it, and I bet Buttercup is excited to get out and about, too. The mothers group sounds awesome. Without other women to talk to I would be up the creek. You go girl….(Where did “you go girl” come from anyway?) :)
