You may kindly
My name is Sarah. I am a new mother, I work from home (not just the change nappies and breast feed kind of work, but design work as well.) and none of my friends have little ones.
My doctor had advised me to join a mother's group to avoid being "forgotten in the suburban wasteland."
The treasure hunt for friends-with-little-people left me feeling isolated and as though i was a completely different species. Having a little person is all that I had in common with the local mothers.
I don't watch commercial television, I don't get tans or manicures, I don't care much about celebrities, I'm not practised in the art of scrapbooking, and I really didn't want to sit and compare our children's developmental accomplishments.
There had to be others like me out there.
Hadn't there?
Then I remembered about a little thing called the "internets".
This thing is full of people!
I wrote one of those "weblog" things once. Maybe I could do it again!
Maybe even make some Internet friends.
So, ladies (and the occasional gent) who don't quite fit in the regular mother's world, let us share our worlds so that we can tell the rest:
"You may kindly stick your mother's group."
