mops

i attended my first "mops" meeting yesterday - mothers of presschoolers - for those that don't know. i feel very stay-at-home momish. it was really cool, very nice ladies. it is at a church in town. they meet twice a month and i think i am going to pencil that in on my oh so open schedule.
the "coffee moms" (as michelle calls us) have still been getting together weekly. it has been really good for me to connect with other women with children. a good friend reminded me several weeks ago that we are not meant to raise children on our own. it takes a village, and i definitley need all the help i can get. i really feel now not having all of my women family members here in town to share my journey with.
i'm still working it out with myself that being a mom is an acceptable profession, for now. for some reason there is still a part of me that can feel a tad useless, whats up with that.
that being said i really want to find some volunteer work that i can do, with the baby in tow, of course. ideas anyone??
