Well Damn....

With much angst and fear I write this post...

Outside of going on vacation, THE GIRLS and I rarely see each other much these days. Work appears to be kicking everybody's hind parts to the point that our regular acts of fellowship seem few and far between.

Once where I felt as if I were a part of the MAJORITY of single women with no children, with the onset of social media, I am feeling like the MINORITY as many of THE GIRLS outside of the jurisdiction of NY/NJ and their GIRLS have tons and tons of pictures of their little ones posted E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E !

....and damn it..I feel a little left out.

How is it that amongst the 12+ GIRLS in The City and New Jersey, I feel left out because compared to the ladies in other cities, I am in the minority because I do not have a child ?

Maybe it is because I go to work, Facebook and Twitter are up on the second screen most of the day with pictures of babies, videos of babies, pictures of the parents with the babies, pictures of the parents swapped out with pictures of the babies which causes me to be surrounded by babies all day as opposed to people just like me. And this is an all day event of being surrounded by babies because I go to work, the babies are on the computer all day, and then I go work out, then come straight home to a computer FULL of more pics of babies.

I "awwww" at the babies, I "ooooh" at the babies and I giggle at the babies' antics and I have to be honest with you, I feel like I am being coerced. It's like the Mommy Mafia is making it hard for me not to express my interest in their crew. I feel like a freakin "IG" (interested girl), on the outside looking in, ready, yet not really ready to be a part of that crew.

CALI GIRL denied it, but I called it almost a year ago. The Fat Lady has sung. Most, if not all, of THE GIRLS are boo'd up...like seriously, "we've met the parents, we've exchanged hypothetical information on where we would prefer to live and how many kids we would like and how many carats, cut and clarity and the other C I forget we would like to have " and I am slightly freaked out about it.

This silent Mommy Mafia, with their pictures everywhere, their having MORE fun than us single women with no kids, with their FABULOUS freakin bodies after having kids (breastfeeding appears to be the diet of all diets) is making it very uncomfortable for a chick like me.

Real tawlk...
