After our run in with the mean girls at preschool on Wednesday, I was trying to get Abby to school before I had to run into any of the other moms this morning. Of course as I was walking throught he parking lot Annie's mom (the one who took them all home the other day) pulled in and I knew I was caught. Usually Annie's mom goes and drops her younger daughter off first so I thought I had a few minutes to get in and out, but alas, she changed things up, specifically to corner me and explain that she was just taking Kate and Jackie home so that Annie would "stay out of her hair" while she gestated.
I took my sister's advice and told her that it was fine, I just didn't want Abby to notice that they were all getting together and not including her. She tried to tell me that wasn't the case, but I (kindly) explained that it was the case. They were all getting together, and Abby had not been invited, it is that simple. While I am used to being let out of Alpha Mom gatherings, and I am more than ok with it, I don't want to have to explain it to my kid.
I really don't think she cares about leaving my kid out of the clique she is trying to create, I think she just doesn't want me trashing her to any of my other mom friends. That is why she has tried to make such a production out of this, she is very protective of her Alpha Mom status.
Whatever.

Seriously...why do want to hang out with a bunch of suburban queen bees anyway? You don't want Abby learning that shit, and you don't want her in a pre-schoole clique. I think you should move right away. Like to Detroit, where we'll have our own Cool Mom Clique. There's a house for sale just around the corner...(hurry before the drug dealers take it over!)
You could always move out of the country...that's what we're doing. Btw, someday I'll blog about how my C-section had to be postponed (and b/c of my very complicated pregnancy, I couldn't eat during this time) b/c my OB had to take her daughter to a playdate.
