just another day.......
Jan 08, 2010
You ever feel so alone that all you can manage to do is mope around and wonder if there is anyway to meet people and how would would be able to with no vehicle to take you places?
We just moved to El Paso Texas from Ft Hood Texas. At Ft Hood, I had all the resources at my fingertips. My husbands work was no more then 5 minutes away, so if I needed to I could take him to work and have the ONLY vehicle we have. The city was big but small at the same time. It took no longer then 20 minutes to get from one side to the other. I felt more comfortable. Now with the move, we live 30 minutes from my husbands work. When we decided where to live here in EL Paso, it was based on the best area to live with less crime, and my husband wanting to be away from everyday military life. We didnt consider the fact that I may need to go to doctors appointments or take our son to appts and how I would manage that with NO vehicle. I figured I would move somewhere where I would be able to make friends and have at least some adult communication. Well now, if I wanted to have the vehicle, I would have to be on the road at least 2 1/2 hours just going back and forth from the house to husbands work back to house and then back to pick him up and then back home. That is ridiculous. I have no one to turn to, especially in this time of trying to have this surgery.
Can someone really stay home all day long, with a toddler, not get out until night(if I feel like it by that time) most stores closed or places I needed to go closed? You try it and tell me how you feel by day one. It is completely trully draining, mentally, physically, and definitly emotionally! I have tried to come up with hobbies and learn new things, but geez I just get so down that I dont want to do anything but sleep when my son sleeps. I feel so horrible, like I should be a better parent, mother, and wife.
Well thats all today...gotta get back to my son and keep him entertained. Just another day in paradise!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry so long....
