I'm a mom. I have one son. He's 10 months old right now. I have a husband who works an incredibly demanding job in Manhattan as a consultant of sorts. He is going to have worked almost 60 hours in 4 days this week. I think.
When the weekend comes it is VERY RARE for us to do nothing. We want to go to a park, hike, walk, go into the city, go to a fair, art show, walk through our little town, meet up with friends, explore a new restaurant, place, or ice cream shop. We want to DO things. While the pace of husbands job is not the best and something we're not really liking, we do like to be busy, we like to go places, meet people, try new things, and explore. We're just those kind of people!
I've found that I'm also that kind of mom. Husband is going to Kenya on work for 2 weeks. I am planning on a few days here, there, and in between. Two different parts of Pennsylvania, coming back to Jersey. A trip into the city. Two sets of guests from out of town. And where some might feel overwhelmed- I feel totally completely thrilled. I am going to make the most of it. I hate it when he's gone, and I dread it like crazy. But am I going to sit on my ass and cry about it? um, no.
At any rate, I'm just a different style. I have problems- I go get counseling. I get bored, I go for a walk, I explore, I call a friend. I live in this really amazing area, we try our best to get out in it.
Father. I need some more friends in my life who share some of our love of action. I ask for You to somehow bring people in our lives, people with kids, who are laid back and want to hang out and be spontaneous and do things multiple times in a week.
