This morning I joined the local chapter of MOMS Club<\/a>. I was really nervous about going to the meeting, because it feels like it’s been a long time since I last made new friends, and my life has completely changed since then anyway. I mean, I never really thought I defined myself by my career, but in answer to the question “what do you do?” I would say “I am a software engineer”. Now I say “I am a Mom”, and people (although not generally other moms) look at me as if to say “no, really, what do you do<\/i>?”<\/p>\n

But my worries were completely unnecessary, as everyone there was really nice. (Besides, they’re all generally stay-at-home-moms too, so the question of what anyone does never came up.) The best part was that there was a woman there with a little girl just a few weeks older than Carrie, and we were both thinking that the other looked really familiar – it turns out we went to high school together! How neat to think our daughters will be going to school together.<\/p>\n

Carrie had a blast, too! She loved looking at the other babies and children, and smiled for everyone. Oh, and there was a little girl there, also named Sarah, who was enthralled by my curly hair and wanted to touch it. Very cute.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think it will be a good group to get into, even if Carrie’s a bit too young for the field trips and such. Besides, it doesn’t all have to be about her, right? After all, it is the MOMS<\/i> club!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
