It's Always Something

Well, apparently all my maternal agonizing was just a bunch of self indulgent blubbering. Sabrina not only has friends, she has a very busy social calendar. On the way home from school, she was invited over to Kirsty's and Allie's house (sadly, those aren't silly pseudonyms--the sisters really all named Kirsty and Allie). Then, when we got home, Madyson called, also seeking a playdate. This whilrwind of activity is an exciting new world for a seven year old who spent much of last year hanging out with her baby sister.

Speaking of The Toddler Formerly Known As Zen, she is not impressed with her sister's newfound popularity. In fact, she's flat out jealous in the way that only a 2 year old can be. The playdate wasn't much of an issue...if you don't call wheeling a screaming, struggling toddler home as she demands to "Pway wif my fwends too!!!!!" no big deal. The phone call though....The phone call brought tantrums at our house to a whole new level (and we've seen some doozies.) It got so bad that poor little Diva Girl had to cut her phonecall short because she couldn't hear over all the screaming. It's not like the two third graders had so much to talk about, but that's really not the point.

Apparently, the point is that Sabrina getting over her social issues and actually making friends is going to open up a whole set of issues to deal with. But, ain't that always the way with parenthood?


(Oh, Teacher McDreamy is married. Just in case you were wondering.)

Having read the story about Diva girls social life, I have to say the bit that made the biggest impact was that you had found out about McDreamy!! It gives me hope knowing that I am not a fraud to the "single by choice, sisterhood!!". Thanks

Glad to hear your little butterfly, has gotten so social.
To bad about McDreamy, maybe there will be a George for you.

About Me

You say "Single Mom," I say "Solo Mom." In my world, it's all about having your priorities in order, and getting my whites whiter than white is never, ever going to be a priority. Helping my girls paste glitter to their artwork, that's a priority. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom to get a bit of peace and quiet. But I never have to share the kisses.
