Random afternoon musings- I don't get the appeal of the Eos lip balm. I have bought quite a few in the past and didn't like the smell or feel of them, but yesterday I saw a Cocunut Milk one and figured I should try buying it one more time because so many people love it. But noooope, still don't like the texture. This one smells good but I just don't think they are that great as chapstick? I prefer Soft Lips so much more. I love lip balm/gloss/lipstick and always have something on my lips, and I wish I could enjoy the Eos ones since they are so cute!

requiressnacks, I hope this week goes by quickly and doesn't interfere with your FW too much. I feel you on how often to DH, because I would definitely not want to work with DH because he and I have opposite personalities and we would drive each other mad. The balance we have now, me at home, him at work, together on weekends, is perfect. Happy birthday, diamondsndaisies! I hope you get to celebrate! pismoduo, I'm sorry you're not having the best day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. nuggetrn, ((HUGS)) feel better! @mrsjohnmarston, I hope your house sells soon. Why are you feeling so down right now? I would come eat cake with you if I could We're all here for you.
Thanks guys. I'm just overwhelmed right now. DH lost his job a couple months ago and still hasn't found anything. I hate the place we moved too. It felt like we were finally getting to a good place financially and now we're back to square one. I'm really lonely. I don't have irl friends. I feel really bad about myself because I've gained 80 pounds In the last few years. We're having some family problems.
I don't know. It's just a lot of stuff going on right now. I'm sorry to be an attention whore. I just needed to vent for a second.
((hugs)) That's rough. I hope things turn around for you soon.

As mentioned previously, I went to my first yoga class this morning. I was joking with my friend before the class started about how uncoordinated and *not* limber I am. I was telling her that yoga could go very, very wrong for me.
Well, it actually didn't go badly at all. It turns out I'm not too bad at yoga, even the instructor commented on how quickly I picked up on it. Not saying this as a humble brag, but rather to give background for the following:
I must have *really* opened up some joints or chakras or *something* because my big, fat, out-of-shape body has been popping and creaking all. day. long. Getting out of the car, hips twisting and popping like crazy. Climbing up the steps at my kids' school, back popping with each step. Carrying the groceries into our apartment, shoulders creaking like a haunted house.
I'd think that I did something wrong, except it all feels SO good...like my joints and muscles were locked into unnatural positions and they've finally been freed to move as they're supposed to. Can't wait to get back there tomorrow morning!!

So many hugs. I'm so sorry you are going through a rough time and vent all you want! Hopefully you'll get to a better place soon.

Big, creepy, internet stranger hugs for you. I've been there...not all that long ago. There's nothing I can say to make it better right now, but I can promise you that it's temporary. It *will* pass, and you'll move into a new phase...a better phase. Until then, you'll be in my thoughts.
ETA: My "fake" (i.e. internet) friends got me through that time. Please, please reach out to us as much or as little as you need. We're here for you.

((Hugs)) I really hope that things start to get better for you guys. I can totally relate with weight gain and feeling lonely sometimes. No real advice for you, but I hope you find an activity or an outlet for your stress. Chin up.

I feel like I can actually relate to a lot of that, but for me it wasn't happening at the same time. Will it help if I tell you, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"?
((hugs))
I'm sorry you're overwhelmed. That is more than anyone should have to deal with. Please feel free to PM me if you want to chat or vent to me.

I've been exactly where you are, quite recently. Things will get better.
@mrsjohnmarston, so many hugs. As long as you know YH is actively pursuing another job opportunities like posting his resume on job sites, asking for referrals, and approaching potential employers himself, then that is all you can possibly do. I'm sure both you and he feel terrible about the situation right now, but it will only get better from here. Is it possible for you to pick up a part time job in the meantime, just to hold y'all over until he gets another job? I know you have DS so maybe a friend or family member can help out by watching him? I understand completely about not having many IRL friends because I am in the same boat. Have you tried going to story time or visit the park or other kids attraction to meet other moms? I know it's so easy to put your own social life last, because I do it all the time and that's basically as much effort as I put in other than keeping viciously with facebook and email with my friends back home.
Big, big hugs. I'm sorry this is happening but it won't be permanent. Stay strong!
I finally got some sleep but now I woke up with a pounding headache and I am starving but scared to eat. All I have had is some crackers since yesterday afternoon. Ugh.
((hugs)) @mrsjohnmarston That is a lot to be dealing with all at once. Hopefully you are able to work through these things in time, we are here to vent to and support you while you work through it though! More ((hugs))

(((Hugs))) I'm sorry that you're feeling so down. I've been struggling to find full time work so that DH and I can move out of my parents' basement but it just isn't happening. *Sigh*
ETA: I also don't really have any IRL friends. At least, none that are close enough to visit or have the time to hang out :/
DH is online researching weed eaters. Again. I am so sick of this research phase. Go buy one!!! I am seriously so tired of hearing about all of the different weed eaters.

In a couple weeks I should be able to start working part time at the salon I worked at before I became a SAHM. I let my license lapse so I've been working on getting reinstated. I've been wanting to go to story time at the library with DS but I also have a 6 month old so things are complicated. But I'm just making excuses: I'm incredibly awkward and shy. Now that DH is home, he should be able to watch the baby while I take the toddler to things like that.
Ok, that's wonderful! Is this with your RC license? I have to admit I had to google that but didn't get very far. Residential care? Either way, I'm sure YH is doing everything he can and you can even help him out with the searching if he wants in these next few weeks before you start your job.
I didn't know you had a 6 mo old, I thought it was just DS. I can see how that would be a huge challenge but yes, you are right, if YH is home he can most definitely stay with the baby so you can get out and meet some other moms. You could also try a MOPS group to see if they have some meetings around your location. I also just recently signed DD up at Gymboree and the kids that are in her classes are regs so we see them every week and it's easier with a set schedule like that. FWIW, it's a lot easier for me to make IRL friends with kids roughly the same age because our routines are similar more or less. That way your LO and her LO can play together while you have some kind of adult conversation in the background, or go out together for coffee one day if one of YH's can sit for both kids. Sometimes I just don't want to go through the effort and stay home and let DD watch TV. No shame. I understand either way!

So many hugs to you. One of my best friends is an online friend I met in my gaming days. I don't have really any IRL girlfriends other than my sister since I was such a hermit in college (and still am). I went through hell and back in college and relied heavily on online friends that pulled me through. We're all here for you if you need us! We can't give you real hugs but we can certainly be theoretical shoulders to cry on!
