Hey all-
Alright, so I know that the adult interaction thing for SAHMs has come up on other threads in various forms, but I'm starting to freak out a little that I'm going in at the end of the week to tell my boss that I'm not coming back from maternity leave. Can some of you throw out some suggestions on how you've integrated adult interactions and intelligent discussions into life with the kids?
I'm wondering if I could scam my friends into coming over once a month for a wine and cheese party after the kids have gone to bed--you know, it's like going out, without paying for a babysitter...but other than that, I've been mostly going to the grocery store every other day and purposely going through the line with the real live cashier so I have someone to talk to! I'm sure I'll figure this out eventually, but my friends who work are already kidding around with me about how frequently and quickly I write or respond to emails or call them. Plus, it seems like I don't have anything to tell them anyway, unless it involves my children's digestive habits.
Ahhhh, and I was the one that was so eager to stay home at the beginning of this thing...

(not as sad as I seem)
