Sometime I get lonely staying at home with my girls. I had two pregnant women remark that they do not want to stay home with their kids and they just did not have the personality for that.  Not a lot of stay-at-home moms want to just stay home with their kids. It gets lonely sometimes. Many stay-at-home mothers miss that regular adult interaction. Â
That is why there are play groups and Mommy and Me classes. These not just for the little people; it is also for the big people that choose to stay home with the little people.  Getting around other people helps to form sentences with more than just five words.
For about a year my family has been living with just one car.  My husband works outside the home full-time and I work from home with the kids.  The last year has been a real budget crunch time.  We have just recently purchased a used Nissan Quest minivan and I am happy to be back on the road again. It is amazing to be able to travel on the road when the sun is bright and sunny during the week. Before, the only time I traveled was on the weekends or during the evenings. The kids and I are able to do shopping, and go to the park during the week now.
I missed being able to take the those little trips with my girls. I am happy that I am able to stay home with them. It has been some sacrifice, but in life there is always some type of give and take. I do get lonely sometimes, but I would not change being able to stay home with them for anything.
