The Kindness of Mom Friends

"Mothers are all slightly insane."
~ J.D. Salinger

Mom friends are quite simply indispensable.  They can save your life, your job and your sanity.  For example, no matter how well you think you have set up child care and all that entails, there are always surprises.  And that is when you need your go-to mom friends.  They are the women you call when you just can't get there -- for whatever "there" happens to be.  It can be as simple as a school, activity or party pick up.  It can be a child's event that you just can't make it to or that you will be late for.  These women are also your reality checkers.  When faced with parenting challenges, I go to them, too.  Interestingly enough, mom friends are not all moms -- but they do know how to be a good friend to one.  And for the help, wisdom and support of all my "mom" friends (mothers or not), I am very grateful.
