Lonely

I teach, so I'm off in the summer. My summers are usually filled with going out (my sister is a bartender) school work (I was working on my masters) and vacations. This year I graduated, I can't go out and we just couldn't afford a vacation this year. I sit in the house all day with my dog. I feel so lonely. I'm just ranting.

    ((hugs)). I've been there. I quit my job 6 months pregnant and was home just waiting for baby. It gets old quick! I joined a moms group on meetup.com (since all my friends were either working or didn't have kids) & 3 years later they are some of my best friends. Our group does free or cheap things since we are all SAHMs and there are people that join before the baby arrives. Get out there and good luck :)

    I agree with @bluelily9 Groups are great and it doesn't have to be a parent group. You could take parent classes, fitness, anything that interests you.

    For me transportation is an issue so I've learned to pick up hobbies. Last summer while pregnant with my son I crocheted a lot and justified it as I was saving a little money by making baby things myself rather than busing them premade, plus it was a little more special.

    If there's a way you could get out to the pool, that might be something too.

    Sounds like my first 15 weeks. :( I know how you feel. Is there any other family you can visit? Take your dog to a dog park, that kept me sane for a while. Also, are you crafty? Starting some projects might be fun! :)

    Do you have a hike it baby in your area? Look on FB it's a mom group and free. They do hikes for expecting moms too and it's a great way to get out and meet people!

    I honestly lesson plan... because I'm a loser, and I don't want any extra stress before LO comes. I figured that would help shorten my work days too. Editing a lesson or two is ways easier and less time consuming than writing whole new lessons.

    When I was on bed rest I made sure to always call someone to talk to them to feel like I was still connected with people. If you feel fine you could try doing a girls day with your mom or friends :)

    Aw I'm sorry! I actually posted it about this myself a few weeks ago. I feel like all my friends really abandoned me ever since i announced my pregnancy. I'm not working right now either so we are on a pretty tight budget. Makes it hard to get out of the house when even a few bucks for a cup of coffee is a splurge. When I was working I was a nanny so there really wasn't much in the way of a social life there either. Feel free to message me if you'd ever like to chat! I would enjoy I only have one or 2 acquaintances with children. It'd be nice to chat with another soon to be mama.

    That's exactly how I feel to momma. And I didn't teach summer school because my morning sickness was so bad... And it literally cleared up the week before summer started haha. You're almost back to work, then you won't know what you were worried about :)
