Still cannot find what I am searching for...

I have been toying with the idea of leaving JPP and it has absolutely nothing to do with all the drama going on in it right now. With Apple Juice in school I have a hard time going to playdates with just Chubs, seeing as she hangs out with the triplets and her boyfriend almost everyday so she is getting socialization without going anywhere! I miss my San Diego playgroup if I was there we would have went to the park that was by my old house yesterday. We only met once a week, but that was fine and there were only 15 of us total. I was the youngest mom but had the oldest child so a lot of the women asked me for advice. That playgroup saved me from a depression and a 10 month long deployment. It is funny I don't even talk to most of the women anymore, Les sends the girls gifts every couple of months and I get random emails. One of the ladys had moved to Atlanta so I saw her last time I was up there and another one of them is moving to S.C. so we are planning a visit in the spring. None of them were my "best" friend, they were all good friends and I enjoyed being with them. We started as a walking group but as the kids got older we would just meet at parks, still if some wanted to walk we would watch the kids and let a couple moms go walk. I miss meeting by the beach or going for hikes in the mountains. The core of the kids were within a year age of each other. Apple Juice bonded with one of the boys but the rest of the kids she could take or leave. She just enjoyed going to the park, beach, mountain, just being out of the house in general. I liked being around other moms instead of just the kids at college or my neighbors. I liked her being with kids her age. There is quite a few in JPP that around Chubs age, but none of them go to the same playdates that I attend.

I am planning on going to the Halloween party for JPP, since I already told Monkey that we were going there and she was going to have to miss her friend's b-day party, then I think I will unsub for now. If my life allows time for it I may come back, but right now I am going to miss my San Diego playgroup and not stress over participating in JPP. Plus I know a bunch of you read my blog so we will keep in touch.
