playdates can be exhausting

As soon as the weather started to cool off this year, me and the youngest member became mobile in our very own car and I began to seek out people like us to hang out with.  This is not easy, we are or should I say I am not very good at casual conversation, and at times when I try to convey a idea or point, to someone I am meeting for the first, second or third time I can make no sense to them.  I can tell this by the looks on their faces. 
I went to a couple of advertised mommy group meetings and really did not have much luck.  Plus there was the day H E double hockey sticks slipped out and I am pretty sure they have kicked me and youngest member out for evah, we have not heard from them or the latest location that a play date would be. 
But when we both go to the park it is a totally different story, we go to take a few pictures and swing and just like that we meet cool moms who are just hanging out.   Some of these meetings have even turned into a they invite us over to their house and we let our babies play.  Sounds pretty cool huh?  I am straight tuckered out!
