hi all!
many of you know that i am married with a 1 year old daughter. but as of now, my husband is out of the country for a 1 week trip in order to attend a conference. since i have lots of work to do with my husband's absence, i also let my parents take care of my daughter. and now i am home alone.
well i am not exactly alone because i live with my in-laws, but i am alone in the room and no one to talk to or take care of. i think the second one is weightier. i am used to taking care of my family that now that i am out of the routine, i am at a loss. sure i enjoy the peace and quiet, but i also miss my family. for now, i am trying to figure out what to do, to chill out, relax and do the things that i need to do before i am reunited with my baby tomorrow. yeah, i will see her again tomorrow and we will again sleep beside each other.
how about you? do you also get the same feeling?

Yes, it's good to have the freedom to do anything you want to, without worrying about others. I don't like being on my own overnight though, but thankfully that doesn't usually happen as my husband doesn't go away really.

Hi spoiled,
I remember a time years ago when all my girls were small. I was a single mom and had hardly any time for anything beyond taking care of them. I was so grateful when one mom's day my ex decided to give me a day off to do whatever I wanted. I had been taking an accounting course in the evenings and keeping up with studies and homework was tough. I was going to make the most of this uninterrupted time. I really was. I got up early and saw the kids off. I had closets to clean, homework to do...etc. I had a list. I was so accustomed to operating under pressure and around the kids that I just could not get into even one project. I got nothing at all done.

When I refuse to go somewhere with my family, I am left alone at home, at first I am happy with the thought of staying alone and doing whatever pleases me but then throughout the night I will be sitting and waiting for their return, it is strange but I like the feeling of seeing them again.

Being in a family of six, I often complain there is never any peace and quiet, then when my husbsnd and kids are all out, I think it is too quiet and don't enjoy it for long! I do like being on my own sometimes though, but I don't usually do anything special - maybe read, watch a film on DVD or catch up on some housework and de-cluttering.

I hate being home without my husband at night. I have 5 kids but, it just isn't the same without my husband here. I love him so much and miss him when he is away. Thank goodness he has only had to travel twice this year.

Hi, spoiled311. I hope that your baby will be back to you just as fast as she has left.
It is very typical for a mother to have the sad blues when a baby is gone from home. Especially during the very first stage of the child's birth. Maybe you can just find something to do that you have been putting off now that your child is away. I know with me, I am so busy with my kids that there is always something that I have been putting off. But, I will make sure that I try to get this thing done now that I may have some free time. Try doing this and it may get you so busy and it will ease your baby blues some. Your daughter will be back into your arms by tomorrow before you know it. And that small day of moment that you both had away from each other will diminish so quickly.. I hope you will be okay. Take care.

Yes. Whenever i'm alone my anxiety just boosts up. I don't know why but i'm thinking all the time. I can't do what i'm supposed to do or what i plan to do. I've resolved this case however. I made a list of what i have to do. Whenever i'm alone i get the list and say to myself that i have to finish those tasks.

Hi there spoiled311, It depends upon my mood i guess. There are times that i wanted to be alone instead of being with anyone especially when ive got something very important to finish or do, im talking about daytime only because no matter how many things ive needed to finish during night time, i preferred to be with someone, like my husband and daughter because it helps me feel very comfortable, secured and happy knowing that ill be rested for the rest of the night with someone i truly love. Whenever im without them, even if im in my work only, i tend to miss them and wish that its time for me to go home already so i could be reunited with them. More power and have a nice day!
