| So... I have been reading all the message boards for a while now and I figured it is time to say hello to everyone. My baby girl has just turned one... she is walking around everywhere and I just love sitting around and watching her discover new things each day. We have just recently moved to North Carolina, just so in a month we can move again, this time to California. My husband is a Marine and as much as I love him serving the country his 12-14 hour work days are really hard on us. It is so hard to be alone sometimes... I haven't made any friends because I feel like we will be moving so soon that it's not worth it. I feel so sad that my husband is missing out on Emma growing up... does anyone else feel like that? Well... I just wanted to say hello. |

| I can't imagine what you go threw I can't stand being away from my hubby for even one night.To not be able to say you can actualy make friends and live in one place for a while must be terrable sry for spelling. Any how I how things brighten up for you and your family. Happy Birthday to your baby girl..You should get otu not be so afaid to make a few friends may be you can talk to them on line or by mail if you have to move again but at least you will have some other communication when your hubby is at work. |

| Hello Monika. I can empathize with you a bit my hubby is gone most days 10hrs, but can have appointments which run him all over can run him all over Ca. Anyhow, when you move to Cali and if you are moving to the Bay Area LMK. Take care. |

| Hello Monika I know how you feel about moving around all over the place. my husband is an airline pilot so we have to move where the flying is. In the last year I've moved from AZ to NC then within 5 months we moved to NV I too have not made too many friends for fear of :how long am I going to be here? but everyone is greast here at cafe mom and I've made a few friends on here. It's also really good that no matter where you are you and your little girl need to socialize. It will keep you from going stir crazy in the house all day. |

Hello Monika,
It is hard to be lonely and it can be depressing. I wanted to write to you and give you one of my favorite quotes:
"The walls we put up to keep out the pain also keep out the joy". I think you should live like you are going to stay....meet friends - it is always worth getting to know a person, touching a life and letting them touch yours. It may help with the loneliness. My husband doesn't work as much as yours, but I get lonely being a SAHM and being fairly new to where we live now....haven't quite made close friends. But I keep trying and I think you should too! I hope to talk soon. |

| Hi Monika. My husband is a former Marine. I never did experience the moving around when he was active, but we still move around anyway. We got married in Idaho and moved to Seattle then to Eastern Washington then back to Idaho and now we are back in Seattle. This all occurred for the past eight years. Not to mention we bought and sold three homes in the process, two were in Idaho. I can go on. I have yet to make real friends as well, due to us moving. I have only recently started this online communication with other women/moms and I find it refreshing. I hope you do as well. |

| Hi Monika, I believe it's especially hard for a SAHM to make friends anyway w/o the added hurdle of moving around so much. I live my life by my kids schedule...Two in diapers, they both thrive on a schedule, look forward to their naps, one breastfeeding means timing her feedings just right so that if we end up out, I don't have to worry about chasing after a two year old while trying to feed her,,,I am a bit shy too and have had to really make an effort to put myself out there. It's easy to get into a rut, I try to meet one new person every month, schedule outings or play dates...and when you move, exchange e-mails! Best to you! |
