Hi all,
I'm new to CafeMom and have three kids. I am in my early 30s and feel like i don't get out enough or have enough time for me and friends.
What do you all do to stay sane day to day?

Welcome Vicky!
Things I do, talk with friends (and make lunch dates), read, clean, etc. I also like to volunteer at school when I can.
Welcome to the group.
Read. I read every chance I get my days are insane. 5 boys from age 16 to 2. 3 different schools to drop off and pick up from and a bus to drop off and pick up from. Plus I watch my neice and pick up neices and nephew after school. I got one little guy with special needs and he has ocupational therapy 1x a week, play therapy 2x's a week, physical therapy 2 x's a month. On top of having football, band and learning sign language. I am lucky if I call my friends once a month. I see them maybe once or twice a year. My trade off though. I wanted to be a stay at home mom. Even though I complain, I love every day.
I read, play computer games and video games with my boys and bf and try to keep myself open to a social life. Don't see much of my family either, but that's due to them being insane. lol I work a few times a week and try to keep my house clean. Harder than it sounds. Hope this helps.
I give myself some "me" time each night when the kids go down for bed. I watch a movie, catch up on TV, take a hot bath, read.....whatever.
How many old t.v. shows can we name
Which category do you fall in?
