I completely understand what you are saying Synn. I really do. I just think I was born to late. LOL.

I stay at home and most days I love it. I can't imagine not being available. In the beginning I was so busy with a new baby. Now she is 6 and a little more independent and in school most of the day. So, my days are filled with cleaning and getting stuff ready for dinner. It gets boring some days.
I have looked into go back to work while she is at school and there just isn't anything out there. I think people take one look at my resume and see I haven't worked in almost 7 years and toss it. It gets frustrating.

Oh Now you are so blessed to be able to stay home. I can see though how that could get boring.

Could you maybe volunteer at a hosptial and that could also help to build your resume.

NowWhat · May 4, 2007, 09:21 AM

I do volunteer work. I help with the school with a reading program. It takes kids that need a little extra help with reading and you work one on one with them. I help out with the hospital getting "Kid Packs" together. They are packs of little things like coloring books and crayons - for those kids that might come into an emergency room and it gives them something to do while they wait. I volunteer with the local food bank. And I am a member of the school PTO.

It does help break up the routine a bit. I am blessed that I can be here for my child. I love being the room mom and planning the parties and helping out in class. I love the flexiblity of it all.
But those days where all I have to do is get my kid to school and then pick her up. That in between time is boring! But, I do get to catch up on my soaps. :)

Now you are living my dream life!! LOL. Oh embrace those down hours. You have filled your days up nicely. And don't down play getting your child off to school and picking them up, that would be the highlight of my day. What a great feeling!!

LOl Tuscany... OH MY GOD. That was my Father-in-law's favorite show ( dirty ole man that he was, knew nothing about prices, he just loved the girls).

I'm not much for game shows AT ALL. I stink at it just plain awful. I use to watch/tape All my Children, for years, but then life took on drama of it's own (with elderly getting sick and all) and we just stopped watching it (shhhh don't tell anyone, but Mr. Allheart would watch it with me. Oooh he would kill me for telling that one.) But it just got old.

Bascially the shows I like are Big Brother - Surviror and American Idol. I guess reality shows.

Too funny though Tuscany... come on down...

I used to play hookie from school so that I could watch that with my Grandpa. And I could have Grandma's homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sammies

I actually watch less TV and spend more time on this computer - now that I found this site! I am addicted!!
When you stay at home - you don't get much adult interaction - so, this almost counts right?

LOL - it defintely does count and having a hard time pulling away myself here.

Well, I have tried talking to the dog and although he is a great listener - he's not much of a conversationalist.

Allheart · May 4, 2007, 10:37 AM

Now that's where you and I differ GREATLY lol. Me and my little one have great conversations and there are times I prefer bantering with my little one then some humans :).

It amazes me how they know your every mood. It kills me when I am sad. She normally sits on my lap while I am on the computer and something's can make you cry a little, she gets so upset. She's a little maltese.

NowWhat · May 4, 2007, 10:41 AM

Mine is a 70 lb. lab/bulldog mix. But he thinks he's a lap dog!

Okay, I just got an email warning me about Strawberry Crystal Meth.
It is supposed to look like candy - such as pop rocks. Has anyone heard of this? It is said to be targeting children.
What the heck?

I haven't turned on my TV in a week, and am thinking of getting the cable TV cut off.

When I get mass e-mails I always check to make sure it isn't an Urban Legend. Apparently, it isn't, and is of great concern. I never heard of this until you posted it NW.
