Today we attended our homeschool ice skating outing at an indoor rink in our area. The majority of the participants are homeschoolers from a Catholic homeschool group that we recently joined. My children and I were having a grand ole time each in our own way – Hope(14) and Lenny(11) skating with their new friends, Lily(6) with her new friend (they spend more time off the ice than on), Peter(2) trying to plead with me in his non-verbal way to release him from his cage (aka "the stroller"), and me(40) enjoying talking homeschooling, parenting, faith, etc. with my new friends. Lily came up to me with an urgent request for immediate attention because she had an urgent need for her water bottle. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a polite request but more like a mugging. After trying to politely and calmly correct her behavior (after all there was an audience 
) and then supplying the needed water, I smiled at her and said, "Remember this is Mama’s playdate too!!!" I guess you could say that I don’t get out much!!! LOL

I know the feeling,having to chase Christina around the lobby of that ice rink makes me feel sorry for myself at all the good socializing I’m missing out on! You have needs too, Heather, and as they say, “ain’t Mama happy, ain’t nobody happy!”
That sounds like so much fun! I miss talking to live people.
Mommy’s Playdate, Indeed!!!! It’s funny when we use the same vocab for us as we do for them! Sort of like when I need to “put myself in timeout!”
