I need to get a life and I don't know how! I'm getting really sick and tired of the same old thing I've been doing since I was dxed 4 years ago. Nothing. I do work. But, its after work is through. My son doesn't need me much anymore, and my dh and I are getting pretty sick of each other at this point. I need my own life and I don't know how to go about getting one.
I wanted to go back to school, but am scared to DEATH of that. There is a community college here that I'm considering looking into, but it would be August 2006 before I would begin, and I don't know what I would even go into. I don't want another career at this point in my life. I'm already 35 in 2 weeks, what on earth could I do at this point?
What to do in the meantime? I can't really exercise a whole lot because of my Fibro and the simple fact that I hate it. My one real life friend here is really busy with her kids in the evenings and weekends. I don't have a reliable car yet, but will work on that soon enough.
I feel very stagnant and old and like life is passing (has passed) me by. I could go to the BP support group here on 3
Monday nights a month. I'm thinking about that. I'm thinking of learning to cook; yes, I still don't know how to really cook much. I wanted to learn to knit, but my hands bother me all the time. Its hard to type some days.
Can anyone relate? I thank God for my job every day.

ummm.........hellooooooooo??? sweetie, i went back to school at 38! as for the rest of it, well i could give you tons of info on the school i go to, you could probably qualify for federal financial aid.......that's how i'm doing it plus student loans through lenders the school uses (no credit checks).
yeah...i'm stuck in that 'dealing with kids at night' part.
God could not be everywhere, so
i dont have much of a life beyond my keyboard. I have my kids and dh and one friend who lives an hour away. I have other "friends" but they cannot relate or lecture me about my weight. I thought about joining a group of anysort but it is 20 miles away - can we say gas money. There is no groups in town and nobody in town I can relate too. They are all very 2 faced. So, I am alone in a town of 600. At least at work I had people I could relate to. BLah.

i wish i lived near you i would LOVE to learn to cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's one reason I don't have any hobbies now too! i always got in big major trouble...so i just started staying home all the time, but i'm so sick of it now...
I can totally relate. My daily life consists of : Taking the girls to school, cleaning while they are there,making dinner menus,picking the kids up from school, helping with homework if they have any. Make dinner,clean up after dinner, maybe chat with my friends online because I have none here, take the dog out, lock up and go to bed. Hopefully to sleep. Boring and lame life huh?
HELP!!!
Girlfriend, how old will you be if you don't go back to school?
