Tall Mom Wanting to Make Friends

We moved to West Fort Worth about 5 months ago from Arlington after being there about 7 months(my husband is a marine) and though I like it here much better then where we came from (a very small town in north carolina) I still find myself sad and depressed. I stay at home with the kids during the day and yes I get stressed out but I have a fantastic husband who comes home at 5 every day and is the best with helping out. I've recently gotten a evening job as a receptionist at a car dealer ship, but the people I work with all party and drink and thats just not me. Where my problem lies is friends. I am such a tall social person. You wouldnt think that being tall would play a factor in making friends but it has :( My husband is always telling me "Go to the book store sit and read, take some time for YOU" which is GREAT!!! I really did hit the husband jackpot, but doing all these things alone gets lonely. I'm not into the club scene because I've been there done that. I'm a mom and a wife and I want to make friends with those type's of women. I've tried to ask my husband to see if any of the guys he works with are married or have kids or whatnot but, he is terrible at that kind of stuff. So I guess what this all boils down to is this.......anyone else out there looking for a friend. Play dates are fun, taking them to the park and talking while watching our children play is enjoyable but to a point. I need to go for coffee or paint pottery or just sit and chat with some gal pals. I hope this doesnt come across as needy but I am not sure what else to do. Thanks for listening.

What can I do next?

I live in West Fort WOrth also, and know how it feels to feel a little isolated in the friend department, when you consider yourself and friendly person.

It seems you have gotten a few responses... may I suggest we put together a West Fort Worth play group or mom group?

I'm in!

T., shoot me an email ____@____.com. I live in Westworth Village, but I don't have friends close by. My youngest is just a year older than your oldest, and seems to take to playing with kids just a little younger than him. I am older than you, but you're closer to most of my friends age than I am.

Hey T.,

I'm 25 and live in Saginaw(N.FW area). so funny that I was just talking to my husband about how I miss living near my old friends. I moved to FW about a almost 2 years ago after I got engaged. My husband works for Lockheed Martin. I quit my teaching job last december before I had my son in Feb. I'm actually a SAHM this first year. I haven't not worked since I was 16 and had my first job. So it's really hard for me to just be at home and not have ME time. I would love to get to know other moms who are not in the whole drinking and partying scene. It's really hard to meet people who don't drink or smoke, but like to have fun I guess the good ol fashion way :) Let me know if ya'll make a girls night or any playdates. I know i have a young one, but I would still like to get to know other moms! And also I would love to have maybe our husbands meet as well! Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and God bless!

Hi T.!

So ironic, but I was feeling the same way, so I started a "Moms and Mocha" group for that exact reason! We meet twice a month at Dunn Bros. Coffee off N. Tarrant Parkway in Keller. The next time we are getting together is July ____@____.com'd love to have you and any other moms that need to get out!
