Moms Night Out
I have a variety of topics to write about but this one just happened so thought this goes first!
As I’ve said in a previous blog, I wasn’t really sure making friends in Mom circles was going to be my thing. After getting to know quite a few Moms in the community my mind was quickly changed. Mostly, after getting to know parents in my daughter’s class (and another Kindergarten class) I started to think it would be fun to get us all together!
In all honesty I have to admit my brain works over time. You throw me out a scenario and I can tell you easily about 10 different ways it can go wrong. So my only reservation (besides showing people that I am a 20 yr old college binge drinking student in a 46 yr old body!) was what if anything was to go side ways as in a friendship that might go sour or something like that and our children are in the same class. AWKWARD and ikes.
Thankfully I let the brain take a rest from the over thinking and proceeded with my idea.
This all actually started at a birthday party where I started to field the question of “would you want to get together for a drink” to other Moms and mostly got positive reactions to a get together. It took off from there. All from a 5th birthday party!
My idea on getting the ladies together was beneficial in a few ways. I thought it was a great opportunity to get to know one another as individuals. Not just as the Moms to the babes in school! We could ask questions and be able to actually sit and listen to the answers! Also I thought it was a really good opportunity to get to know our children outside of school. Hear different stories of where we grew up, music we like, hobbies, husbands etc. Talk about things happening in the class and find out how we can be supportive to one another. We were able to hear how maybe we could support the children as well which I think is so important.
For me, I had the best time. I am not biased, we really do have the most amazing Moms (and parents) in our K class. It’s a really special bunch of children. I am looking forward to more evenings/lunches/brunches etc. I walked away from that night feeling so content with how the evening went and feeling so positive about the our class.
Moms Night Out … thank you ladies and let’s start planning the next!
