My husband whom I love very much and have ONLY been married to for 10 months is leaving out of state to Minnesota for possibly about 2 or 3 months. See, he is a general contractor and right now those people are in dire need of assistance with rebuilding, roofing, insurance issues, etc. and me and my kids and our family is also in need of some serious money. This would definitely be the way to get the most amount in the shortest time possible. I am behind him 100% however I am torn because at first I thought it would be relaxing, adventurous and a chance for some time just for myself and my daughters and my friends to spend some girl time together as well as some me time. However, now I am getting cold feet because I've NEVER been alone for so long. Don't get me wrong I am focusing on this as positively as I can. Anybody got any suggestions on how I can fill my empty hours?

if you're with your kids, you will never have empty hours. there are plenty of ways to enjoy the day with your daughters and friends, and with yourself. With your kids, you can play with them or read them stories. Go shopping with them. But if you don't like to spend some money, then just stroll at the park, have fun. With your friends, have a chat with them. And with yourself, try to do something you would like to do the most. Or do something that you've been wanting to do but don't have the chance if you're not alone. Read some books, watch television, relax for a while. Surely there's something you really want that you can't do when your husband's around. This is your time to relax, so take the time. ^_^

I think I would enjoy a part time summer job just to get out of the house. The only problem with that is all the money I make would probably go right back into my gas tank. My daughters are teenagers so other than the mall and the movies there are not many things that they really want to do. I think I am going to go back to scrap booking. That is my FAVORITE hobby and one I am REALLY good at. Thanks for your response. :)

Start some craft projects with the girls and some of the projects can be like cards and things to send to your hubby. Find some new hobbies and maybe volunteer at a homeless shelter of soup kitchen. Will you be able to go visit or him visit you couple days in between? I know I would be lost as well if mine went off. Start a journal and keep track of everyday. At the end of the day in your journal tell him how much you missed and loved him. Step in the kitchen is a great time to practice in there and learn some new recipes. CAn you tell my husband works nights and am alone a lot?....lol

Well after sending the children to school, finishing the housework, then you can come right here in MYLOT and you will see how the day goes by without you noticing it. Spending time in MYLOT will take away all those worries and loneliness that you will be feeling when hubby gone make money. Don't worry we are a family here and I know that if you put more hours here you will see this as well. So you don't need to be confused as long as you are here, you will find it enjoyable.

My kids are now out of school anyway and you are right about My Lot. Anyway I know we will be at the beach, park, or library often. When I'm not doing that I'll have my friends over for coffee of brunch. Then I will be able to talk all the girly things us women do when we gather. :)

well i suggest that you should spend more time with the kids and be there for them whenever he gets back , eventually he coming back better than him going to Minnesota than to Japan or somewhere half across the world right ? , just keep in touch with him on a daily basis and keep fatih
