M.O.P.S Group

This past Monday, I had my very first M.O.P.S. meeting! M.O.P.S. is Mothers of Pre-Schoolers and is a group for stay-at-home moms. It is a coming together of a wonderful group of mothers who are all at pretty much the same stage of life, who want to be there for each other and lift each other up. We have a mentor in each group, that is an older woman who has been there, done that and she is so encouraging and supportive of our decisions to stay at home and do the hardest job that a woman can do....Raise her little ones! It is held at Hendersonville First Baptist and from the moment that I arrived I felt truely embraced and accepted! How wonderful to meet so many woman who are in love with their families and with God! We laugh together, cry together and pray for one another! I know that I am going to make some very long, lasting and deep friendships with these women. They encourage me to be a better person and a better mother! Thanks Jennifer for introducing me to this group and helping me to get a spot...You are the best and have always been there for me! I would never want to know what my life would be like without you! I love you to death!

Just a little side note, they provide child care for the babies and I missed my little man terribly while we were in there. It was really nice, however, to enjoy an uninterrupted meal and good adult conversation! I couldn't wait to get back to him, since it was the first time that he had ever been left with anyone other rhan my mom. When I got down there, they had taken him and three other little boys (My guess is all the ones that wouldn't take a nap) on a stroller ride. They have all kinds of turtles and birds and fish in aquariums around the building.....So when I walked up he was strapped into the stroller and he started crying the minute that he saw me.......HE MISSED HIS MOMMY....I felt so loved!! He grabbed my face, pulling my hair the whole time...haha and gave me the biggest wet kiss, SLOBBER all over the side of my face and half my hair pulled out....OUCH!! But it was the best sugar that I could ask for! He gives kisses all the time now...Just watch your hair!!
