Today is DD6's last day of school. She is in a small, specialized class, so there are just a few mothers who I socialize with (small chit chat) during drop off & p/u. Today, there was a breakfast (serve yourself, cafeteria style) for the parents. Now, I'm generally an extremely shy, non outspoken person who is constantly working-running-working, with three daughters, one with a learning delay and the other two with emotional issues. Imagine the appts! So, I very rarely socialize. None of the moms from my daughter's class were at the bkfast room, so I glanced around, grabbed a bagel & coffee, and walked home with my breakfast. While I was at the bkfast, no one spoke to me. Even my neighbor, who was standing near me (but in conversation with someone else). Guess I could have approached her, but I don't think they like us anyway. There are the "in" crowd, we are not...or we've been so out of the loop that we haven't been out with others in a long while. Just wanted to vent. Guess its partially my fault, since I could stand to be more outgoing. Its just difficult when you're so busy that the days seem to run into one another. This felt like a watered down version of Mean Girls and Sixteen Candles and {insert your favorite teen movie here}. Thanks for listening, need some Dis .
