Today i feel like i have been locked the in house, when i'm not at work, i'm at home. Because i don't have a car(during the day) i'm at my mother's mercy all the time! This morning i was supposed to get my hair colored, i asked my mother yesterday if it was Ok, she said yes. Then around 9am the phone rings, its my mother she can't do it, she's got to take my father to the train station b/c he is going downtown today. Ok, i call the salon & make anothe app, call her back at tell her when "great" she says, then my father tells her, on Friday he takes the train at that time when she is to babysit. I have a really hard time getting out in the daytime & taking the kids with me to the salon, it does not work well. I'm soooo sick & tired of feeling like that i no choice but to stay stuck in the house until my hubby gets home, then i can go out for a while. I'm i the only SAHM or anyone else who feels this way???

You arent't the only one who feel that way. LOL I'm a mom who works part time out of the home and I still feel that way a lot of the time. It's been about three years since I've seen the inside of a salon! I have transportation but don't have the time to go and do such things......consider myself very lucky to go to the grocery store by myself. LOL some kind of entertainment that is. But still, I appreciate the time alone. As for the salon, maybe you could get a home coloring kit instead? They also have hilighting kits out there that you can do at home and get really nice results with. Best wishes to you and I hope you can get a little "you time" soon.

I should add, get the kids ready and go out for a walk. This can do wonders to reduce your stress level and elevate your mood. It will be good for the kids as well. At least you won't be in the house staring at the walls feeling trapped and they will get tired out a little and maybe take a nap for you. :)
