while your kids go with FOB??? I'm running out of things to do and I don't know what to do with myself. I work and I go to school, so Fridays and Saturdays are my only 2 days to myself. When my son's here we spend the whole two days together, I'll take him out to the park, the movies, the library, etc....When he's not here I go work out, I clean, I do laundry, I do homework, and that's about it.....I think I need friends lol, most of mine are married and have kids so they can't go out on the weekends that I can. And the friend with benefits kinda fizzled in thin air when he met my son, oh well his loss....I have yet to begin to dating.......so much free time and nothing to do AH!!!!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I am in the same boat. I have a lot of weekday activity friends - but not really any for weekend nights. So I usually go to bed early so I can get up and ride my bike or run the next day.

I always seem to have a lot of housework and now that I have 2 puppies I keep really busy.

I think that if you work out at a gym, do volunteer work and stuff you like you will keep meeting new people and having fun things to do - you just have to build all that slowly and let it snowball. Hope this helps. Keep us posted!!

It is so GREAT that you and your bf are doing so well. Have you introduced the kids yet? Give us an update!! You have given me hope!!

I have no problems entertaining myself. I catch up on housework and laundry. I catch up on TV shows I have taped or books I am reading. I go visit friends in town or out of town. I have taken a part time job on the weekends I don't have my kids. I am doing demonstration work (passing out samples and coupons) for some extra cash. I have my first job next Saturday with a friend. I also like to find new recipes and do some cooking.
Most Sundays I attend church and have a class with some wonderful ladies that I really enjoy. I also like to call my friends that live out of town, since weekend minutes are free. It just takes some getting used to being alone. It was a HUGE adjustment for me when I first divorced!
