Secret Mommy Club

Yesterday I took Dominic out to do a little retail therapy. (Hence the I love Target post from yesterday) Dominic slept the whole time which gave me some much needed "me" time to browse at any & everything I liked. I usually feel bad spending 10 minutes in the makeup aisle when I am with Louie-so I had a ball!! While perusing through the sunglasses I stopped and looked around...THIS is where all "Stay at Home Moms" go during the day!! Walking through the store, I saw mom after mom, with their car seats (I counted 5 of the same one we have) attached to the cart, strolling happily along. It was like we all knew each other & understood how fantastic a once meaningless trip to a store was. We'd smile at each other as we passed in the baby section--like a secret handshake in a club. It was nice to see that I wasn't alone--we were even all dressed similar--from the flip flops on our feet to the big bags under our eyes! :) Even though I didn't speak to anyone I felt like I socialized with adults for that couple hours!

In other news, I joined a mommies group! Two of my good friends are also in the group..I think it's going to be a lot of fun and good for Dominic to socialize too! They go on fun field trips to all sorts of places in Lorain & Cuyahoga county. I love to meet new people--I'm excited!! Next Friday, there is a "Mommies Night Out" at John Christ Winery to kinda meet & greet--I think I am going to go! That way I don't have to go to Target to make friends & get some adult time in! HAH!!

The weather is BEAUTIFUL today and will be for the next week! 80 degrees today! I bought lots of baby sunscreen yesterday and am planning on being outside as much as possible this weekend!! Today we are going on a walk with Leann and her son, Connor! :) I'm happy it's going to be so nice when Louie is home this weekend--although it's going to be hard to watch the NFL draft from outdoors!

Good for you!

I remember making my Target trips during the day before I went back to work - it's true, you only saw Moms and their kids!
