I Can't Be the Only One

So, I'm sitting here watching Brother's and Sister's. I feel like a loser typing that:P Every week I watch it, and every week I say to Husband "Why do I watch this drippy, whiney show?" (Sissy, I know you watch it too...so I'm not the only one:P)

Anyway, the mopey Colista Flockhart character is all "Oh, woe is me...I'm married to Rob Lowe, but I'm having an emotional affair with hot single dad guy in the park:("

My only question is..."She adopted a baby like, two episodes ago...and she already has a person to hang with?!?"..."and he's a hot guy!?!"

Now I've been at this Stay at Home Mom gig for over three years now...and I have yet to make one real friend...in the park, or anywhere! I love my Husband, don't get me wrong...I'm just asking..."Where's my cool person to hang with at the park?"..."heck, I'd settle for someone who wasn't a nanny...strike that, I'd settle for someone who just spoke English!"

That's it...I'm moving to TV Land!

I owe you all updates...I'm going to try to get to it tom. I meant to get to my Blogger Can be Cool series (would you believe the blogger I was showcasing went and quit blogging?). I need to regroup on that series...I think I'll just use test sites...not sure.

As far as my new BFF girl...I am off to email her right now. We've had a couple play dates. I can't tell if the Weather Gods know something I don't. Every time we set something up, the flood gates open, and Noah floats down the street in his arc...I'll keep you posted.

  1. I watch it. I stopped for a while letting the DVR record it and then there was a period there where everything was a repeat and I watched a bunch of them in a row. Now, I'm back and hooked again because I find the single dad/cheater/boyfriend really nice and cute.

    I'm a little shocked how it ended tonight.

  2. I just finished watching it too. (Hello, PST!) Anyway, I don't get it either...

    In case, you've missed MY ongoing series on the latest in park run-ins, there haven't been any cool dads (or moms) on my radar either.

    Okay, not true. The one day that I actually found cool parents to hang with a nanny (a NANNY) started berating my son for not sharing HIS toys. So, I had to leave the conversation to stick up for him. Ugh... stupid nannies.

    I have post about it waiting in my drafts folder, but I'm just not entirely sure what to make of it.

  3. I think I watched the first season of that so I have no idea about this adopted baby and the hot dad guy.

    In my real life, it has taken me two and a half years here in Palembang to make 3 other moms that I can call friends and all 3 just happened this year. I don't even have mom acquaintances!

  4. I so hear you about the park thing! Small talk all the time with random moms, but no real friend. ;(

  5. I suck at (& despise) small talk so I'm pretty much screwed. I'm convinced I come off sounding like a moron so I pretty much stick to innane things like 'hello' and 'cute kid'. lol
    I joined a playdate group to solve that & just force myself to go.

  6. Yup. I am convinced that meeting other parents is like dating all over again. Plenty of small talk and very few relationships.

  9. I dont watch Brothers and sisters because if I can get my kids to all go to sleep at the same time I run for the bed like a mad woman, but I totally know how you feel about the friend thing. I only have one mommy friend and we've been friends for about 6 years, but it's hard to find time to see her. At the parks around here most moms seem stuck up and I have social anxiety. Could be that they are anxious about starting a conversation with a stranger as well.

  10. Too funny! I was thinking that as well...the part where she just got a baby and now she's mingling at the park with Mr. Dad. Isn't that baby too little to really enjoy the park. WEIRD!

  12. Keep at the BFF thing. I think my adoption playgroups were really helpful in meeting other parents in similar situations. Maybe you can find a "focused" playgroup???

    oh and I can't believe the blogger you were showcasing quit. that sucks.

    hugs!

  14. I will be watching out for hot guys next time I go to the park...just in case. HA. It is so true that I would settle for someone that smiled. And then didn't think I was stalking them when I started a conversation.

  16. I have the same trouble. I'm horrible at small talk and all the moms I see at the park always seem to come in groups already. :(

  17. Oh we all feel your pain on the friend front. I know I do. :-)

    And I think Vodka Mom is back....I think.
