Cabin Fever

So last summer Rob and I decided that we had to trade our 2 cars in for an SUV for a couple reasons. 1) Since I'm not working we couldn't afford the total amount of the two car payments, 2) We needed a safer car, one with 4 wheel drive, for the winters up here, and I bigger one to fit all the baby stuff. We're happy with our decision since it was the best for our family. However, we miss having our own cars. I miss having my car at my disposal to be able to go out and do whatever I want during the day. I miss not having to get up at 5 in the morning to take the car if I need it. So most days, I'm stuck at home. Which I guess isn't that bad, but I get cabin fever real quickly. We used to be able to go out when Rob would get home, but now that it's winter, and have Molly's bedtime at a decent hour, I hate taking her out "so late". So I avoid it unless we really need something, or I just need to get out of the house. Today, I really wish I could get out of the house. I have a Target gift card I'd really like to use, along with a little bit left on an Old Navy one. Oh well, I know I'll be able to get out on Sunday since Rob has staff duty all day and night :(

  1. Story of my life! We have two cars AND John works nights so his car sits in the driveway all day but for the sake of the girls, I really try to stay in at least 3-4 days a week. At first it was really hard for me but they thrive on it, I find, and Brooke, especially, is most happy when we have no agenda. I'll admit, it IS nice having that car when I want it, though. Have you tried having friends over for lunch/play dates? That always helps to break up a long week for me!
