When your children meet other children, soon they begin to talk more and more about these “new” friends.
You begin to hear their names all over the house…
Slowly, you begin to meet the moms of these children and the more you chat with these moms, you find yourself liking them as much as your child likes their new friends.
So what happens when your kids finally get together for a play-date?
Theta Moms talk endlessly and of course, drink some wine!
I wanted to post this because these two fabulous ladies to my left are the first real moms that I have met and had over to my home, thanks to my son.
I never knew meeting people through my own child would be this successful!
So here’s to my kid for finding me some totally awesome mommy dates and in the process, giving me a well deserved Theta Mom Time Out!
I won’t be holding Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday again until the New Year. Although I plan on taking an hour for myself, it will be quite hectic as the holiday approaches. So once again, I’ll remind you in January to join us and look forward to a New Year of Time Out for Theta Mom Thursdays!
Also, the Handbag Heaven giveaway ends tonight so get your last entries in here.
And if I haven’t been to your blog recently, it’s because I just joined Facebook and all of you FB freaks know how time consuming it can be, especially when you first join. So I plan to get around to your blogs shortly, I miss you guys! So (shameless plug) if you want to become a fan of Theta Mom on FB, I would love that! You can do so here.
Hopefully this whole FB thing won’t become like a Twitter addiction…although I’m beginning to wonder what I got myself into…
FB is fab I have a lot of laughs… but twitter is better imo.
I love when I love the mom’s. It makes life so much better!! You’re forgiven…for a small little bit anyway!

Ohhh Facebook is so addicting. I’m on there as well. I love when my kids bring home new mommies. They are typically Thetamoms. So about their children as well. Glad you met some.
Have fun on facebook, but beware of viruses! A couple of people I know inadvertantly downloaded viruses from facebook.

Hubby swears that he’s never going to get a Facebook account. Everybody else in his family has (even his mom!), except for my husband and his older brother! I wonder for how long he can hold out…

Yes, I’ve been lucky to meet one mom at my daughter’s preschool that I really like. We are new in town so because I didn’t grow up here, it has not been easy meeting new friends, especially with a 3 1/2 year old in tow.
Have a great holiday!

I met a couple cool Theta Mom’s through my son as well. In fact, we’re all getting together on Friday night. Yay!!

Yep, that’s how I met lots of my friends. Every Monday we have a group of us that gets together while the kids play at the park and we sit in a circle and chat.
Oh yes, playdates..that is a great way to meet new friends. Love the pic!

Happy Holiday!

I did my Time Out Thursday….head over and check it out!
Merry Christmas!
.-= Shirley Rempel´s last blog ..Time Out Thursday =-.
That is so great you have met such great ladies. That is always awesome. I have had it both ways. There is a group of my daughter’s friends that I love and one that just doesn’t click. Guess who we play with more? Of course you know I am your fan on FB babe!
and once again…here is my double commentluv! Only works the 2nd time!

.-= malia´s last blog ..Holiday Card the B. Way =-.
I’ve also been very lucky to meet some totally rad (Yep, rad) friends through the kids school. The other moms are just wonderful people & I love that we can get together to laugh & share time together.

I have neglected my FB ever since I started blogging!
But I am taking some time over the holidays to get up to date with FB.
As for your new mom friends… I am totally jealous! But super excited for you. They seem like cool girls and having your kids be friends is a definate plus!

.-= tina´s last blog ..theta mom thursday =-.
Play dates are so nice and it is fun to meet new people.
Oh, I love it when my kids have a friend that I actually like the parents!
.-= MiMi´s last blog ..Dear Someone, =-.
I love meeting new moms! I just joined a play group in my area and have started to build so many new relationships.
My husband can be mildly inappropriate and make fun of me saying things like, “Ooooo is that your new girl crush??” He just doesn’t understand haha.
.-= Katrina´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday =-.
I bet you all had a blast!! That’s how I met most of my friends too, thru the kids. lol Yup, I’m a facebooker too and spend way too much time on there. hahahahaha And I’m waaaaay into Farmville and Enchanted Gardens. hahahahah
.-= Tamara Mesenbourg´s last blog ..Where there’s a witch there’s a way =-.
No, I can’t do anything more than twitter or facebook. All of it becomes so time consuming as it is! lol
That’s great that you meet some IRL friends! I added you to facebook, I’m horribly addicted but slowly trading it for Twitter.
.-= Tricia´s last blog ..Theta Mom =-.
Congratulations on your new friends! It is so nice to have real live mommies to hang out with! I love making friends with the mommies of my son’s friends. Hurray for mommunity! Enjoy FB. It is definitely addicting. At least for me. Haha.
Well lady I did it anyways LOL
Because I rememeber late after I saw Tina’s post… 😛

It does make it so much easier when you like your kids’ friends’ moms. Believe me, as they get older, you REALLY want to because when they get to be teens, you have less control and they can get into SO much more trouble. It definitely helps to know the family and what you may or may not be up against!
.-= Melinda´s last blog ..The Teenage Twilight Zone =-.
I’ll come and join you on FB then!
.-= Kerry´s last blog ..The Ghost of Christmas Past =-.
You fell down the FB rabbit hole! I had to give up my FB addiction for blogging. I don’t have time for both. And I quit Twitter because I got hacked too many times. (I might go back to it though.)
.-= kys´s last blog ..Thank You Very Much =-.
Definitely makes it easier when you like the parents!
.-= shortmama´s last blog ..Dear Someone =-.
I hope to soon get mine out to socialize with other kids, and maybe make some mommy friends.
I missed your last Theta Mom Thursday for the month. I had my time out last night, but it was a late one, so I didn’t get to post about it.
I’ll save it for January.

You always hear the horror stories of the situations!!!
.-= Single Mama Central´s last blog ..Birth Plans =-.
Once I moved from L.A. that is the only way I found friends – through the kiddos…
Uh-oh, Facebook you are done for….I abandoned FB for blogging, but miss my FB world so trying to find a balance (yes, I know this sounds ridiculous!).
I’ll fan ya on FB later! I shoudl have a page, duh!

So far, I can’t say I really like any of the parents in Cole and Bella’s kindergarten class except for one mom who I know through MOPS. I’m hoping that as they continue going to school there through the years, this will change!!
I love FB…I’m still trying to figure out the excitement of Twitter!
.-= Helene´s last blog ..Life is never dull, that’s for sure… =-.
I can’t wait to start meeting the moms of my kids classmates. In preschool, it seems so in and out and harried right now none of know each other. I hope it will change soon. I’d like some new friends.
Yes, Facebook is addicting. I love it and don’t know how I managed without it previously!
