Blogging With Mommy

After much delay throughout the summer, this technomommy decided it was finally time to join her work at home friend for an outing with the kids. Being the mom that I am, I surfed the Internet and decided we should take the kids the Henry Ford museum. After all, another technomommy suggested it.

After a mishap with the bio-dad (remember we are a nontraditional family), my daughter was unable to come with us. So much for my afternoon off playing hooky with my two kids – can I stress the number two? My three-year-old son and I head off to pick up his three-year-old girlfriend, her two older brothers, one of their friends, and my girlfriend and fellow mommy. We head down to Dearborn, Michigan for our little adventure. Misadventure I should say as all did not go as I had planned or hoped.

The museum that was supposed to be “perfect for kids” was a huge let down to the older boys. My son and his honey were just happy to be together and hang with their mommies. After a few hours of battling pent up boy energy, we call it quits. While the museum was cool, it was designed for a retired car dude and not a seven-year-old boy.

My girlfriend takes it all in stride and we head north to her house for ice cream and some outside playtime. She admits she didn’t think it was a good idea, but went with me anyway because I wanted to go. I had to remind her that technomommies are clueless and to please speak up when I am headed off a cliff as I was today.

Thankfully my girlfriend loves me no matter how out of it I am when it comes to play dates. Obviously, I have other attributes that are worthy of friendship. I am still looking for these, but I am confident I will find them eventually.
