I just moved to germany a few months ago with my husband and kids. I would have to say this has been one intresting but amazing adventure so far. We live in the economy because on base housing has a waiting list, we are on the waiting list but it can take until next summer till we get into a house. Our car hasnt got here yet and its an automatic and we have a car here in germany but its a stick, and i dont know how to drive stick. So my days are spent in the hosue with my little ones. I love my boys,but i am starting to feel a little down. We are six hr dif from back home and by the time eveything is calm and the kids are down im ready for bed...so its far and inbetween talking to mny friends and family back home. An half the time they are at work when i have free time. Im around the kids with no break all the time. An it would be nice just to have an adult conversation, maybe even go grocery shopping by myself,shopping,get coffee something...But right now it just isnt possible until our car gets here. My husband doesnt understand my frustration because he is at work all day being able to interact and have conversations with another adult. Being able to eat lunch with another adult and talk with them and have a conversation without a child disrupting you every two seconds. I mean when he needed to study for the board his srgt didnt just come over by himself, he brought his children..why would you bring your children when you are suppose to be studying for the board. So i ended up watching 5 kids total trying to keep them quiet and content so they can study. I took them on a walk for awhile but once we got home it was hard for me to keep them all quiet. Especially with them studying in the room over! I take care of everythign around the house, in college online, walk a half mile to take my son to school and pick him up, so that equals two miles a day..along with bring the other two kids with me. House work school work helping my son with his stuf etc....i can go on. I knwo this is our job as a military wiife an mother, but with no friends around playdates etc like i use to have back in the states, its starting to get depressing and lonely. I sometimes sit back and regret wanting to come here, thinking maybe it would have been better off if i would just stayed back in the states it would have been a better choice for us. I want to beable to have some free time just for 30 min or something..Do any of you ahve suggestion on what i can do to help me threw this stressful transition right now?
