I went to playgroup and no one cried.

We went to our first play date with the new playgroup and I must say... we had fun! At one point, my son beamed at me with a priceless smile that had "Thank you, Mommy" written all over it.

The other moms were very friendly and extremely interested in my life pre-SAHM-hood. Our conversation was very engaging. We exchanged "tricks of the trade" and the babies (all boys) got along very well. I can't ask for much more than that.

Having learned my lesson about double-dipping in the playgroup pond, I mentioned to them that I was in another playgroup. Having ONE mommy friend freak out on me was enough. I didn't need six more...

Their collective response can best be summed up as, "uh, okay."

TERRIFIC!

To quote a favorite TV theme song, "I think we just might make it after all... "
