I'm convinced it's almost impossible to make friends while watching kids (< note I am being dramatic).

Every time I've tried, too, it's just 90% watching the kids/chasing/something exhausting and no grown up, get to know you time.

When your church friends have parties, are they all churchy people?

I just want you to know I would be your friend specifically because you were the lady sliding down with Jonah fully clothed.

I am socially awkward and would end up in a situation like this solely because it is my destiny to be more awkward.

Oh, no. This is totally something that would happen to me. Totally.

I have to say, though, that if I had been at this event, BECAUSE this is something that would have happened to me, I probably would have approached you and tried to relate to you/help you laugh it off. Maybe that makes me weird, but I guess I'm trying to say that I WOULD BE YOUR FRIEND!

i would think you were a cool mom if i saw you voluntarily get sloshed for your kid.

and i agree with ninja. they only reason i'm friends with the moms of other kids in L's daycare class is that they're IN DAYCARE together so we could meet/talk otherwise. and most of those friendships began with email exchanges about daycare logistics.

I find situations where people are together at least weekly for months results in the most friendships.

I'm pretty much an extreme extrovert and I will invite people places after meeting them once. I don't think anyone has ever accepted.

Good luck in your friend search--just try attending regular events:)

Can I just say that I think it's awesome that you went down the slide with him. I read your posts and think you'd be a really cool IRL friend :-)

On the bright side, your a mommy hero
