Do you ever feel so out of the loop and that you're going to scream if you don't get any adult conversation soon? I feel you, it's a struggle, especially with stay at home parents. So I've come up with a list of local mom groups (that I'm aware of), for you to connect with other human beings that aren't constantly demanding our attention.
MOPS:
MOPS stands for Mother's of Preschoolers. They have meetings at churches, so it is religious, usually every other week. Childcare is normally provided while the moms eat, chat, make crafts, have a speaker, and just get to know each other. There is a fee of $7 per meeting plus a yearly membership of $37.
