Playing Hookie...

So today I played a little hookie from school - it felt so good to get a few things done. The best part of my day was going to Kindermusik with M and S. I love to see M being independent of me and listening and following directions - watching her grow and change is a wonderful part of being a mommy. On my day off I wanted to get our house clean and do a little cooking for the Relay for Life lunch tomorrow at school, why do I get myself into these things. Taking on too much with too little time on my hands - why - I will never know.

On a side note...

I am currently contemplating doing the Warrior Dash in May - if Ryan and I decide to do it, I would feel so good about myself. Getting up and doing something productive with my husband would certianly grow our relationship and help us loose the weight we have both been wanting to loose. That's not really a reason, but I would feel better about myself. I am trying to get a few teachers from school to join in, so I guess I should just do it!

Outside my zone.

So tonight I stepped outside of my relative zone of comfort to go into someone's house I don't really know very well to make a craft, which I'm not so great at making. It was fun, I would do it again and next time I might even talk to someone I don't know. The whole point of tonight was to meet some new people and talk to 'strangers' in a cozy environment and to make something fun. I did the make something fun part, but I didn't talk to strangers. I am so stuck in my own little and I mean little world that stepping out and putting myself out there is hard. So basically I failed myself tonight - I didn't do what I wanted to, but I did have a nice conversation with 2 awesome ladies that I already know. I just feel like I need a group of female friends that are not my sisters or my sister's friends. I need to make my own, I am a grown up - which I think actually makes it harded. Going into tonight I didn't quite imagine the clique feeling that I felt, but I was putting myself into their world and I didn't exactly make any effort to talk to them, so what can I expect. I've got to do better - be a better friend - be more approachable, more friendly, more extroverted! That's it! I enjoyed my evening and hope to do it again soon - but I'll do better! I hope!
