Going out is definitely a good idea.<BR/><BR/>Are there are any groups/playdates you can join? There are some informal groups everywhere. I meet a group of moms in our part of Toronto and I would sometimes meet up for a playdate. They even started a book club so that the moms could get out for adult-only time. I think getting out of the house really, really helps. I know because I spent 10 months as a stay-at-home-mom and it can make you a bit stir-crazy if you don't get out. Go for a walk. Go to the mall. Meet with other moms. Go swimming. Just do something that will allow you to have a break from the same old routine. My groups with Riley really helped my days go much better. It was nice to have her out and interacting with others (saved myself from hearing a complaining baby who didn't feel like being home anymore) and meeting with other moms.

And Tylenol, lots of Tylenol for everyone, hehe.<BR/>Good Luck!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233778794543363005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-40112182741123194622008-01-09T00:32:00.000-05:002008-01-09T00:32:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry Kylie is teething and that you guys h...I'm so sorry Kylie is teething and that you guys had such a hard day.

Teething is hard. <BR/><BR/>I get off work at noon so if you ever want to get the babies together and have some adult conversation, let me know. They are old enough now that they would probably play well together. "Peanut Butter and Ellie's" is supposed to be cool.

I don't know about you, but some days I can't wait to put her down for the night, and then once she is down I miss her and I just want to hold and rock with her.<BR/><BR/>I've been reading some parenting blogs, let me know if you want some of the links.
