Play Group History

For the past year, I've tried to find some sort of play group to join - just to be able to get out of the house, meet some other moms, and let Grant play with some other kiddos.

Well, it's been a no-go for play groups for me. Here's the brief history:

Play Group #1 - Greenwood West - emailed the contact person several times, never heard back.

Play Group #2 - South East Indy - I thought this one would be GREAT. It was perfect geographically and they had a cool website. When I spoke on the phone with the contact person, she told me they weren't a conservative group. I should've guessed that if the contact person made a point to tell a newbie that, she truly meant that they weren't a conservative group! When I was granted access to their members-only website, I saw pictures of kegs at play groups and pole-dancing at Moms Night Out! Not my kind of group - I just want to meet some moms for lunch, ya know?

Play Group #3 - Greenwood East - Matt dropped me off at the church they were meeting in for their easter luncheon, and he was headed to Starbucks to work for a couple hours. Less than 40 minutes later, I called him, telling him to pick me up. For the 20 minutes I sat at a table with some woman, ALL they did was complain about their kids! Not my kind of group, either.

Play Group #4 - Franklin Township - the whole MOPS fiasco. See previous blog post.

Play Group #5 - North Indy - I thought perhaps I needed to meet some "north side" moms. Well, found a play group that looked really fun and I was totally excited about going, but then on their website they had VERY SPECIFIC instructions that you had to live within a certain address zone to be able to be a part of their group! Seriously! So, couldn't go to that one.

Is it me? Is it Indy play groups? WHY can I not meet other moms in the area?

However, I FINALLY found a group I think I'll like!! I'll blog about it tomorrow...are you hanging in suspense?
