How do they do it??
Going Stir crazy
How? How do these military wives deal with the transition between homes? I am wondering especially about the stay at home moms. How do they stand it?
UGH!!! I am so incredibly bored!!! I really do not know what to do with myself. I joked a lot before we left about how I wanted to stay at home and not work anymore. To be honest, I was half serious. I was pretty hopeful that I could stay home because Rusty’s raise in pay almost replaces my income. What I didn’t count on was my inability to stay home and not go completely stir crazy! I have worked pretty much continuously since I was 15. The only time I didn’t work was when I was going to school and even then, most of the time on was on a work/study program.
I imagine this would not be so bad if we had a house and I could find things to do with myself, do a load of laundry, clean the toilets, etc. But sitting here in this hotel room waiting for the phone to ring or for the girls to get out of school, I am going INSANE!! Ya know staying home for the summer as a teacher is a welcome break after a hectic school year, but staying home indefinitely is just UGH!
I am sitting here staring at my cell phone thinking, “ring, ring, ring!” I am waiting for the school board to call with my job offer. The principal at the middle school assures me that they will be calling today, of course she said that on Thursday and Friday as well. Well, just keep your fingers crossed for me, I need a job! It’s not about the money (although the money is nice), it’s about my sanity. I just don’t have the patience to sit around and wait for a house so that I will have something to do.
