Something to think about, have you looked into MOPS, Mothers of Preschoolers? It is a great program to get you out of the house a couple times a month for fellowship with other moms, time for a craft and time away from your children (they have child care) I am a mentor mom for a group in my area.
Also if you have friends with children, see about having her kids over to play for a couple hours a week and then she can have yours.
