Thanks for your replies. I have very little time to myself. We live too far from family and close friends to have anyone we really know and trust do any babysitting. I have an acquaintance with a little girl who lives in this subdivision, and we get together every 10 days or so. I have left babygirl with them for up to 2 1/2 hrs. one time, and several other shorter times but I am not really comfortable leaving her too long. Besides that, they are planning to move in the next several months. I have also met new neighbors who seem nice. They are coming over to play next week.
I have just joined the local MOMS club, knowing I need to get to know more friends and neighbors around here. We might get out of the house today for a little playdate thing. I think it will be good for me if I do.
You know how you meet some people and you can tell right away that they are YOUR KIND of people? The neighbors we see pretty often - there is just something I'm not wholly comfortable with. THey are very nice, and I have no reason to think they have been mean to their little girl or mine, but they just aren't OUR KIND of people. I know how snobbish that must sound! But we really aren't snobs- I hope ya'll know what I mean...
I have been thinking of going back to work part time, but I hate to do that and then get pregnant again soon (if I could be that lucky!). And who in the world would I get to take care of babygirl? Hopefully this MOMS club will work out well, and we'll make lots of new friends.
This loneliness is more on the inside somehow. DH is here most all the time unless he is working (which is 50-55 hrs./week). We have lots to talk about- he is interested in what our girl is doing these days, and we have other similar interests... Since I have started talking about wanting another baby he has slacked up a little on the help he gives. He may not have even realized it.
I guess it has been a while since I have done something just for me. Maybe I will make a chance to get a haircut this weekend!!
THanks!! Look forward to getting to know you all !
