The company I work with is $250 to join, this month you can join for $99, but if you are serious about building a business for yourself I can show you how to start without paying a penny.
You set your own hours, you could work around your husbands schedule and have some fun while making money.
Email me for more information. No Scam. Legit Business Opportunity!

How is the public transportation around? Any community colleges? A special interest? I think althought is boring moving by public transportation, most boring would be staying at home every day with nothing else to do. If the kids go to school, then use the mornings to excercise, or take a class or something. I used to be a stay at home mom, but when kids began kinder, I had to go out... Depending on the schedule of the kids you can also find a part time job and for sure you wont be bored... Is just not being lazy and find something exciting...

Well, You need to get out of the house. Can you husband commute or work at home 1 or 2 days a week? Can you walk or bike to a YMCA or a library? You need to get into a mommy and me class or join a gym with childcare. It sounds like even if you had a car you don't have connection. Make a few friend at a park nearby or one of the classes somewhere and invite them to you for a playdate when you don't have a car. This is so important for your health and child's health. It won't get better unless you make a few demands. Can you buy a used car? lease a car? Get a babysitter? At the very least try to get to the gym and make connection on the weekend. On the going crazy days make yourself a mixed cd with up songs. i don't know how old your little one is but familyfun.com has great craft and game ideas for all ages. It's sometimes hard to be a stay at home mom even with friends and a car. Good for you for taking the first step!

I know exactly what you are going through!!!
I have a 2 month old and an 19 month old and as of Aug. 2005 I have been a stay at home mom. We just recently moved to Florida and I have no family or friends either. My husband works during the day and I get no break. So I took up an evening job so he can watch the kids when he gets home. It really makes my day go by fast and to be honest I loveto stay home on my days off. Also, I have met many new people .

I'm a stay at home mom too. I wish I was bored! I feel like the housework is never done and i'm always trying to synchronize their naps so I can get some time to do something I would enjoy.
It's very easy to go stir crazy when you're home all day with only little kids to talk to. You should try getting involved in some type of group thing, at church or with a playgroup where you can meet other moms and make some friends.

You don't say if you are new to the area or not, but either way, why not draw up some fliers to put in the local grocery store, convenience store, library and start your own SAHM's (sam's) (Stay At Home Moms) club. Have other SAHM's meet at your house on the first and third Wednesday of each month. After you get a few moms up and running you can schedule trips to the park or movies, and stuff like that if a couple of moms have vans and could car pool. You can have picnics in your backyard, let the kids play and the moms can chat. Serve some tea and light cookies for the moms and some snacks for the kids. You could also check with your local library to see if they need volunteers to put audio books" on tape (where you read the book out loud to a tape recorder) for people who are blind. Good luck and God Bless.

is possible for you to get a job working the graveyard shift? i was in your situation a few months ago...i took a job working from 11pm to 7am at a local hospital. i'm not so bored anymore and i've meet some new people. if that is not possible learn your local bus route and go out during the day to the library,museums,gym etc. you will find that there is alot going on in your town most libraries have book clubs you can join and that gives you an opportunity to meet other people. or maybe you could start a book club in your neighborhood(book clubs are not ALL about the books!) it's also a time for a group of women to relax over cocktails and vent about "women stuff". i wish you luck!

Try going outside (weather permitting) and playing with your kids. When they lie down for an afternoon nap (if they take one), pick up a good book or pop in a movie that you like. I'm a stay-at-home mom myself, and I will admit that it gets pretty boring at times.

First of all, what you're doing is commendable. Being on here & communicating with people is good. Do you have cable TV? There are movies & comedy. Most of my family & friends are dead, so I understand. Tell me what kind of jokes you like & I'll send some. I don't want to offend you! If you want to talk, e-mail me, as a friend, nothing else.
