There has to be some groups you could join to get to meet people. Could you take the kids out to story time at the library? Or is there a mom's group that gets together at the local McD's or park. I know they're not your kids, but in a way they are. Are there any other daycare prviders in the area that you could get together with at the park or something?
I only suggest these things because the friends I've met here have made the world of difference for me. When we were still in MN, I was so involved with kids that I never got out, never made any real friends, and there was just a big piece of me that was shut down.
I know that, with your job, you can't just pick up and leave when you want to, but you deserve to have time away when you need it. Hey, do you have any girlfriends who would come stay with you next time H is away? Or anytime for that matter? That would be fun. Heck, I would come to visit if it wasn't so far away. Maybe this summer....
Hang in there. There are a lot of positives. Keep looking for them. Love Ya, Me
Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
