What's missing in your life?

Actually, yes, I do.

My "babies" started kindergarten the end of August and I've been lost without them.

 

i'm missing a more engaging social life

 

I don't fully know the feeling, but I have the fear. I'm going to be depressed when that time comes and I'm not ready and will never be ready.

I had a realization not too long ago that I'm not young anymore and my life is moving way to fast... it scares the shit out of me...

 

Not to be funny, but have you considered a part time job or maybe even a light babysitting gig to help pass the time and keep you occupied?

Fitzy,

There's plenty to do without spending a lot of money. Many bars will serve you free non-alcoholic drinks for being a d.d. Just walk around drinking sprite under the pretense of having a buddy off drunk in another part of the venue. Real cheap, easy way to meet people.

 

thats what i've been doing, with diet drinks because they have no calories. i'll go out with my sister and cousin. i meet people. but after that, its not really all that engaging. really i just want a group to chill with

 

meeting lots of drunk people when sober is a great way to destroy one's view of humanity.


i'm missing a lot of things, including the motivation to list them.

 

That's exactly it. You realize that you're NOT so young anymore and life is moving at lightening speed! You see your babies that you can still remember seeing the faint lines on a pregnancy test, growing and maturing so quickly, and you wonder, where am I headed?

 

Yea I know. I've been kinda down about it... I'm glad I have someone to talk to about it. haha

It really is hard... My youngest will be a year in Jan, wich is not far away...

 

I have done some thinking about this.

What I am missing is the ultimate babe.

Someone who is intelligent, beautiful and physically fit.

Beautiful is easy, for there is certainly nothing unusual about a beautiful girl. There are millions of them.

But someone who is intelligent and can keep up with my lifestyle- that is rare.

So I need to find a soulmate.

 

ugh... short toenails are what's missing in my life *grabs blippers*

 

At the same time, if you don't go in expecting deep philosophical discussion it can be quite funny and there's always the 'social' drinker who's usually not intoxicated. . .

 

The thing is, I have a lot to keep me occupied, and even though my kids are in school, I have very little time to myself believe it or not. I volunteer at the elementary school quite often during the weekday, and I also have a small home based baking business with my SIL.

By the time the kids are all at school and I get what needs to be done at home, it's time to pick them up again. I have to spend 1.5 hours each day waiting on them to be released from school (my kids are in enrolled in another school district across town and there is no busing due to them being accepted as open enrollment so I must take them to and from school) as the twins are dismissed earlier, but with the mass chaos at the school, I have to stay there until my oldest, whom is in 3rd grade, is dismissed. Then it's home and helping with the homework (yes, even the twins have it!), packing lunches for the next day, getting clothes ready for the next day...

My house is immaculate, meals are always homecooked and on the table before my husband gets home from work...I do for everyone, everything, but myself. And I realize that, but what do I do?

I stress so much. It's like, I worry about every little thing. I obsess. I need to relax, I need to find peace. I want to be where I was several years ago, but it seems impossible because my way of thinking has shifted, and my life has changed. I'm more focused on the future and what's happening that I cannot control, instead of simply living for the day. I've lost sight of who I am in some ways and I guess in a way, I'm trying to find her again.

 

yeah, it's funny for a few minutes. after a certain time limit, the comedic hijinks just become extremely annoying though.

and i just have nothing in common with any mostly sober "social drinker"

 

intimate I suppose. I guess I just wish I had a boyfriend. lol.

and.... being around drunk idiots when I'm sober, drives me nuts

money.

 

Relationships. I miss my friends who have all moved away. I miss being in a relationship. Or maybe I just miss that giddy feeling I don't know. I'm just in a state of blah in that department.

 

Pimp your husband out.

You're welcome for the idea.

 

Jeeze, I believe it. I know that's about where I'm headed eventually, I still haven't found out exactly who I am and I'm typically confused most of the time. It really gets at me at times.

 

I found ten dollars on the street no more than twenty minutes ago.
