I am bored as hell!! This is why I'm starting this blog - because I know there must be other people out there like me. Married, stay-at-home moms (even though my child is in school) who are bored out of their skulls!
Get a job you say? Well, aren't you pissy! No, seriously, I have been looking for a job for quite some time now. The problem is, and this is a problem almost all of my SAHM friends have, is that we want to work part-time during school hours. I know what you're thinking - we're being too picky. You're right! We are being picky, but not just because we are selfishly wanting to be there for our kids before and after the bus and to take them to their various sports practices and piano lessons. It's also because we've been out of the workforce for long enough that our skills suck. Therefore, we are qualified for crappy jobs that pay crappy and aren't during school hours. Since they pay crappy, paying for childcare so we can go to said crappy paying job doesn't make financial sense. So, trapped at home we stay.
So, my question to all you bored SAHMs is this: How do you keep sane (and please, I'm not looking for the "I bake and homeschool my children" responses. I'm looking for honest, real answers. If it happens to be that you really do eat bon bons and watch soaps, yell it from the rooftops!! Be proud! Or, if you've found the magic career that the rest of us have been waiting for, please share. I won't tell anyone else or compete with you. I promise!
