I say this because I can now verify - they can get better. Sadly, what this may take is... practice?

To sum up:<br /><br />1. I feel you, and I empathize. <br /><br />2. You need to consult your calendar and find a weekend among the family and friends visiting you that you are free for Poppy and I to come visit. Andrea and B as well, of course. It will at least break up one weekend! xxsanctimomioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406258636631957403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792230668226449168.post-51229312750703200892011-06-06T17:24:05.221-04:002011-06-06T17:24:05.221-04:00I remember that weekend dread, Monday just couldn&...I remember that weekend dread, Monday just couldn't come soon enough! I also remember seeing couples holding hands and doing weekend things and just feeling so lonely. It just sucks!<br />Glad that you're keeping busy and getting out. I hope the time passes by quickly!Our Traveling Circushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625250727257143614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792230668226449168.post-2753185908845016352011-06-06T12:11:03.524-04:002011-06-06T12:11:03.524-04:00I stumbled across your blog through Karen's an...I stumbled across your blog through Karen's and just have to comment how much this post really hit home. Although my husband isn't deployed right now, I have gone through them in the past and like you said, dreaded the weekends. We moved to CA and I was utterly alone, not knowing a soul. I would purposely work overtime so I didn't have to go home to an empty house. I've done the walking around the neighborhood and being envious of everyone else's glorious lives. I could have written this post word for word. It plain and simple stinks. But everyone has a right to a pity party, so don't be too hard on yourself. You have two beautiful babies to wake up to every morning, I'm sure they will keep you on your toes and put a smile on your face :)The Whitefieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562949355035290289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792230668226449168.post-37989330663056326532011-06-06T09:45:51.088-04:002011-06-06T09:45:51.088-04:00I go through the same thing.

I have found awesome stuff I never heard off. Splash parks, indoor playgrounds, museums, all kinds of stuff and usually we go in the afternoon. Somehow cabin fever only hits in the afternoon and the kids usually wakes up very happy so mornings are easier. So usually we eat or grab a yummy lunch and go. The youngest ends up napping on the way or on the stroller and the afternoon flies because its a new exciting thing. <br />Hang in there and I hope you start enjoying weekends just a bit :)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258705602175139920noreply@blogger.com
