Stay-at-Home
Do any of you who are stay-at-home moms have the same problem I do? On the weekends, my husband likes to hang out at home and just veg, whereas I get moody and depressed just sitting around on a Saturday. I like to have plans and do things, get out of the house. I suppose having my daughters around me pretty much 24-7 just exacerbates the situation. Yeah. I need to get out of the house more.

lol barb.
i thought this only happens to extroverts.... hubby is more introverted than me. well, he says he is, but i think he is just pretending: he is happy with his own company, whereas i am not so happy with mine, unless i am trying to *create* something... lol.
i do feel a bit mummy-ed out sometimes too. lots of kids needing lots of stuff lots of the time.
but i just realised this morning that my season is changing: my big 2 kiddos are spending more and more time outta the house, with school/friendships/work commitments... and i am really missing them.. i remember when i felt stifled by them at times when they were younger too.
so i am gonna try to *enjoy* these moments... and feel ok to *get outta the house* or invite people over.....
life is such a juggle :o)
I like kate5kiwis comment on inviting people over....I'm always up for an invitation : )
You might come give sewing lessons to a certain stay-at-home grandma : )
My dh is the same way about vacations. He wants to stay in his zipcode and I want to travel.
What happens here is that we don't talk about what we want to do until the weekend is here. Then we have conflict. I always have somewhere I want to go or something I want to do and he always has a home improvement project planned and gets stressed out because he can't do both. Yes it could easily be resolved but we never remember until the weekend...
I feel like that often but with gas so high and money lacking it is hard to get out often. If I invite people over then it turns into crazy clean up the house time. That is not fun either.
Kate, you're right, I will miss the girls when they start getting out of the house more.
Barb, I might take you up on that. ;)
Melynda, it's funny, we don't talk about it either. Somehow we are so distracted by the activities of the week that we don't make plans...
Charity, money is not in great abundance here right now either. Plus we don't have a lot of babysitters available.
