The year is about to end and new things are coming. Among them, new moments and activities. Who knows if next year, Avakin will be even more deplorable, but even so, I want to end this one on a good footing to start the other one in the same way. So, before this year ends, the idea of forming a group with activities "different from what is seen in avakin" crossed my mind. And the idea was born, a cult of Mothers. I noticed that here there are families, mafias, and other things, but it is really very limited what there is. So, I wanted to try something new, something that would really be entertaining and keep people together. And I noticed something. I noticed that there are a lot of women who play the role of a mother, and sometimes I saw them in nightclubs, parks, and other places. The thing is, there are quite a few. Even among my group of friends, some of them already have children, so why look so far away, when I already had the women right there? And so the
Single Mothers Group. And if I had to give it a cool sounding abbreviation, it would be [GMS].
Maddy my friend, was my first student/recruit. I told her about the idea, and wanted to know what she thought about it, and she said it was excellent.
The first day of the activity consisted of yoga. At first I thought I would do it with only 2 girls, (Maddy and Rox), as the others didn't show up. So, since there was no hurry, we waited a while until the others arrived, and finally.... In total, 5 attended. I feel that everything went almost perfectly. And more because the place lent itself to do something innovative and entertaining.
It took place in a spiritual retreat, and the main rule to join the sisterhood of mothers was to have a baby. Since not all of them have one, I allowed them to bring babies of any kind, after all, a baby is a baby.... One brought her cats, others aliens, and of course, normal babies ha,ha.
For the first day, there were more than I imagined. We went from 5 mothers to 8. There were also male parents. Some of these fathers were strangers to me. I would not turn them away, as it is something for all of us to get together. We talked a little about ourselves, (name, who we are, and a little about our babies). Everything went great.
In the last article, I talked about moni my daughter, well, she also took part along with her baby. Now that she is a full-fledged mother, she can go to those meetings. Some of those who attended did not bring their children, "according to" they left them at home. One mentioned that she left him with 5 babysitters, because if one is missing, there is a spare, lol (people make up whatever).
All in all, everything was fine, and although there are always little mishaps, this activity was not affected by any of them. Before everything started, there were some complications between two mothers who know each other (it seems they had an argument before), and because of that, one of them did not participate, since the other one would be present, that is, if one was there, the other one was not. Things don't always go as one wishes, but I consider that for the first time, the participation of 5 mothers is not bad.
This is how things begin, little by little, and I am sure that in the following meetings, there will be more.
It wasn't just a matter of finishing yoga and going home. Right there is located a restaurant called El Arara Azu. It seems that they were delighted with all the gossip in the activity, that even after finishing, they wanted to continue chatting in the restaurant. I haven't seen that kind of coexistence in avakin for a long time. We were just "4 old blabbermouths talking about our gossip", you know (who cheated on who, and some things about babies).
It was all so relaxing, well, the place is. The place has a lot of sounds, which are beautiful and captivating, (like the water or the animals in the surroundings). That's why I thought this would be the ideal place to do this, because from the moment I saw it, I knew that the sounds would be a key factor that they would like.
It is impossible to feel alone in this place. In this "sabbatical retreat" there is everything, it is literally like a sabbatical retreat. Best of all, it also has another section that could be even better than the yoga place. I was thinking that for the next mothers' meeting, I could take them to that one.
To finish off the day, I spent mother-daughter time with moni. Honestly, so far she has been the best I've had. And I've had a lot of them. Some have been very rude, some were just like ghosts, and others asked for things very consistently. So far moni is a child who doesn't ask, isn't rude and is just there.
She is the best (and I'm not just saying that). Many stories have unfolded in our Malibu home. In one an unknown subject broke in without permission, and moni wasn't there, but "the babies were supposed to be, yes". I assumed he was a burglar, and if he wasn't, he wasn't supposed to be there anyway. The guy gave me trouble because he didn't want to leave, so kindness was not a good recourse.
Since moni has been there, I've had several stories like this. I feel like she changed my game a bit, but in a good way. Maybe now I can take the role of mother seriously, "maybe I got the right daughter".
This group activity was what my game needed. Now I have something better to think about inside avakin, instead of wandering from room to room aimlessly. Well cybernaut, I always hope you are very well. And what can I say for this time of the year I just hope you are not too alcoholic and have fun. I hope you have a nice Christmas, and I'll see you soon.
