I don't go anywhere. Unless it's an appt or getting a preschooler to school. But my excuse is, it's too dang hard. I have 3 preschoolers a toddler and a kindergartener. it's just too hard to pack us up, and corral everyone once we're there. I used to be so social, play dates, lunches. I was fun. Now, I'm just a tired mom. I feel like I am looking forward too much, to kids growing up when I really should be enjoying THIS.
AM I alone in this? I think I am, I don't know anyone else in the same spot. Well, one other mom, but she is moving, and didn't really like me much anyway. Maybe it's because the people in this same club, are hiding in their houses too.
I guess I can't really complain all that much, really I'm not complaining, because I have no desire for anything else.
I knew a mom once who I never saw, and I thought she just didn't like anyone. Turns out, she's just busy. Sorry about judging.
Seems a little lonely doesn't it? Should I be bugged about it, and make myself go and do? Is it worth the occasional bad outing, and how frustrating that is?
I am going to force myself out this summer. Cooped up in the house, sound far worse that chaos out in the open.
Just don't judge when you see us out and about, looking like we should be a side show in a circus.

That reminds me of just the other day I took my 3 oldest kids to the dollar store for a reward for their good behavior and it was so terrible usually my oldest are the best behaved but that day I wanted to take away their reward because it was rough on me! I have found that it is much harder with young children especially babies I sometime decide not to do things because of the fact I would have to harness kids or even chase after young children. You are not alone in that... of course your amount of children is more than most so the effort is more on your part. I think you can you anything you want and honestly the Lord knows what is best for you, and asking him for help really works!! (Usually through other people)
