I am very grateful for hubbys job...
but I am very lonely when he works! he works 70 hrs in one week; midnights; and sleeps days/eves...
he SHOULD, you would think..have time to spend w/the family anyway..but he doesnt..when you think
about his hours he puts in...
wakes up at 830; leaves by 930pm..is at work by 1030; works til 830 ..drives home; gets home at 930ish..
showers, eats and spends about 1/2 hr in bed watching tv to "wind down"...so he's asleep usually about 1030-11 am...
then up at 830 and starts the whole process over...I do try to talk to him as he gets ready for work..but he's so darn
cranky then it usually doesnt go well..he likes to be left alone when he first wakes up (as do I)...but i'm so desperate
that even fighting works for me <g>...he understands..but there is no other job option for him out there right now..
so I've been dealing with this for 10+ yrs...and it just gets worse...
Me: I'm a SAHM, who homeschools our 13 yr old boy...the other 2 girls go to school...I run a FT biz from my home as well...
I also can a lot from the garden and we have 47 chickens..on top of it all...
you would think I'd be so darn busy I wouldnt have time to get lonely..but I do...
I really dont have any girlfriends..I have one; but she's severely ill (dying) and she cant get out to do much of anything...
I have two others that I can talk to occasionally; but I'm lacking a good friend to talk to..
Its starting to make me very sad...almost depressed..I'm an extrovert...I need 2 be around others...not ALL the time..but man..
even when we are home we dont do much..hubby is an introvert completely/totally..
Just my sad pathetic attempt to vent to strangers who could probably really care less...but it is what it is..right? <sigh> here is is 615pm and NO DINNER MADE..
thats how pathetic of a mom I am as well...I've been canning tomato sauce all day..and watching someones girls while she ran her boy to the doctor..(she's a newly made friend
but I'm more of a mentor to her right now..than "friends")...anyway she needed help so I'm helping...
and here I am sitting..and not caring about a thing in the world right now..and thats wrong..I just want to cry..and run away...
