More of Us Out There ?!?!?!?

I can't believe there is a group of work at home moms! I just found this site. I live in Texas. I am a single stay at home / work at home mom. I have a 2 year old and 3 year old. It is almost impossible to raise two toddlers, work at home, keep house, yard (I have an acre and 1/2) and do it all semi-well -- I don't even try to do things up to my standards - because I learned long ago it is IMPOSSIBLE. I live in a small town outside of Fort Worth. I have no friends anymore, my family does not talk to me anymore (they 'have respect' my x-husband who beat me) I am pretty much alone with my kids. Working at home ads to the isolation - I work online, which furthers the solitary life. It is getting to me a bit lately as the last one of my 'friends' is not speaking to me anymore. Anyway, It is nice to know there are other people like me out there. I know you are all just as busy as me!!!

That's definitely one of the hardest parts of working from home - the isolation. No co-workers to chat with and laugh with and share with. My kids are older (one is almost 10 and the other is 9) so they are in school most of the time - that leaves me alone with myself (and the dog who isn't much of a conversationalist). I really don't have much in the way of friends either. My husband does help as much as he can but he works full time out of hte house and he is tired when he gets home plus we always seem to be running in 80 directions with all the activities the kids want to be involved in (which ALWAYS cost money!).

It was like that when the kids dad lived here --- he was always gone, except he had NO consideration for me staying at home, and he went nuts. Of course his 'business' was one of the many reasons we split up..... they don't understand how lonely we get I loved the description of this group... girlfriends jelous... THEY HAVE NO CLUE!!!!.... I love having my own schedule, but I am jelous of my x-girlfriends with jobs and friends... and NO KIDS !
