I'm Cranky
Say what you like about public and private schools, but at least they give you a chance to meet lots of people in your own peer group. Why is it so hard to make friends once you leave school? In today's world, with so many mothers working, it seems even harder. Half the girls in my daughter's ballet class are ferried there by a grandmother. Knowing people online is nice, but I'd like to have a few pals in this area to do things with.

i remember when we moved to The Sunny Bay it took around six months to start making IRL friends.
i nearly went into depression.
two years later and we had some fab friendships.
it's been nearly five years now and some friends have come and gone.
i hate that.
i like my friendships to last forever X
You need to move. :D
Girl, I'm with you on that. Don't you wish friendships lasted forever?
Come to Des Moines! We could have a mini blogger convention! :-)
I do wish friendships lasted longer, at least. Sometimes people end up in different places in their lives, though. :(
I'd like to move, if my husband didn't have a pretty good job and I wasn't attached to the area. I know from living away from Lake Erie previously that I'd miss the lakes. I'd like to take a blogger visting tour, though. :)
It is hard.
We have moved a lot so I have never had many adult friends who weren't online. Finally, in the last couple of years--after about three years inn Fort Wayne--I've got some local friends to do things with. It's nice. I'll pray that you find some, too. :)
A lot has to do with there being so few SAHM. It also depends on where you live, some places seem to value being a homemaker more than others. I haven't met a single other woman who stays home since we moved here (central CA) 1.5 years ago. When we lived in IN everyone seemed to stay home so it was easier.
I totally understand what you are feeling.
since we are friends; for my family, we busy a lot of the time. Dh is gone 11 hours a day with his new job and commute. when he gets home he wants dinner and to rest. Several days a week he has various meeting and events to attend. I am home all day attempting to home school 3 (em is on her own) and entertain a 2yo at the same time. By the time dh gets home i am exhausted.
Lately i have been mostly working weekends, so we never quite get that yard work done or clean that basement like we should/need...
we only have one reliable auto and that is gone 11 hours a day, sometimes more. since we don't really live all that close it is harder to get together.
Finances also comes into play. We just cant afford to do "stuff". We were tight before, now with the price of gas we are going broke!
Since we never do get to do anything, is why this Vegas trip is so important. Although much of the trip will be covered, not all of it will. We just have to cut back some more....
