Stir crazy..

Anybody else sick of sitting in their house all day long and not being able to go anywhere??? My OH works and I don't (and haven't since 23 weeks) and since we are getting so close to LO's arrival money is really tight and we literally can't afford gas to go ANYWHERE, other than him going back and fourth to work. Today I have a doctors appointment and I know its going to be the last time I'll be able to leave the house in a week. I'm so bummed about it how are you stuck at home ladies dealing with this!?? I have plenty to keep me busy but still I just want to sleep for the next 3 weeks straight until LO gets here... ughhhhh.

I was quite bored in the last few weeks of my pregnancy with dd1. I did have a car but I got so sick of just going out wandering round the shops all day. I also got really sick of day time tv lol. This time round I have a 2 year old who keeps me busy. All I will say is make the most of having this time to rest and have me time because those days will be over soon! Can't you ask a friend round for lunch, can you go swimming, go for a long walk, buy a DVD box set? The time will pass before you know it x

I know the feeling, I live in the middle of nowhere and the only place I really go is work

Can't you even go out for a walk? I go nuts being stuck in the house, but then so do my kids so even if we walk over to the park or walk to my mums house, we do something!

Otherwise, why don't you start like an activity? Craft something? Cross stich for babies room or painting or drawing or a scrap book? On the lead up to christmas there is always stuff that needs doing Just got to be creative, otherwise yes you will go absolutely nuts. I would try and take a walk a day, just to keep yourself active and give yourself a change of scenery than the walls of your house.

I live in the middle of no where too. I should be going for walks during the day and stuff but I always hate going alone in case something happens.. and I don't have many friends every one I know works during the day, the same time my OH works. He said he'd take me for walks as soon as he gets home so that'll help. I have so many crafts and projects I should be doing, I just wake up all sad and then lose my motivation and don't want to do anything! I guess I'm just really impatient and the only thing I want to be doing right now is taking care of my LO.. but I really should be enjoying this time to rest and do nothing! I bet in a month or two I would give anything to have nothing to do!!

This is just an idea, have you thought about doing something small for money? And like advertise on facebook maybe or sell at a flee market? Making cards or baking yummies. Turn an old hobby into money.
Or try freelance writing if you're good at that? Tutoring school kids? Entering photographic competitions.
These are just some ideas and might help with the cash situation and give you something fun and interesting to do
Good luck

That is a good idea thank you! I really should try some of those if only I can stop being a lazy butt and stop procrastinating!
See I am my biggest problem in this situation and I don't know why I complain if I cant do something about it. I just need to do it already!
