Hey mama.  Sorry to hear about the trapped dilema!  I am new to my area as well but at least have a car.  Try going on cafemom.com or clubmom do a search for clubmom in your area.  Also if you are online a lot IM me if you have yahoo I stay at home as well and have the same feeling often!  LOL  sexymaminy@yahoo.com

Oh my. I am so thankful for this post because that is exactly how I feel. I moved too, and don't have a car, or a job and stay at home with my son who will be 1 soon.  I find it so hard to be at home with him!! We have had a rough start though and luckily things are getting better.  He had severe colic (cried non stop for 6 months straight) and with that I had some post pardum, and I know I still have it a bit, and some days it makes it so0oo hard, especially with the snow.  I live in Canada, and not only is there snow, but it is beyond freezing cold ( minus 20, not sure what that is in american haha).  My husband is also gone most days by 5am and isn't home until about 7pm, so there isn't any relief or help with my son ( he goes to bed at 7pm).  But im hanging in there, praying for the warm weather to come because I can't wait for it!!!  I live on facebook and these mom groups now, it's my social connection!

Ahh the life of a stay at home mom. At least we have out cutie pies to keep us busy. It is sooooo nice to hear an adult voice when someone walks through the door right?!

I feel for ya!  I live in NB Canada and the winters here are bad.  I don't have a car either so I am stuck home pretty much every day just me and Jayden.  I am also a stay at home mom Jamie (the dad) works pretty much every day 9am-6pm or 2pm-11pm somtimes untill midnight too.  I am going a little stir crazy and pretty much only talk baby talk now, lol. 



Most of my friends have moved away and any friends I do still have left don't have children and they have pretty much droped off the radar.  Face book and these groups are pretty much my life now, lol

i know how you feel.   i have always worked since i was very young. i lived with my parents my whole life in a city and then i got married to a cowboy and we moved the day after our wedding to montana. middle of no where.  i lost my job as a maternity tech in a very large hospital when i got pregnant and we lived in a tiny apartment.  everytime my husband left for work i would break down in tears because i felt trapped. no human contact.   a couple things that helped me a lot included scrapbooking, working out, and learning a new language form dvd.   It kept me pretty busy but trust me there were days where i didnt get out of bed because i felt so alone. pretty soon you will get up one day and say... ok i have to do something to help me feel human.   so get some hobbies, take time to yourself, and try to find some mommy and me classes around you because they help too. good luck and stick in there. it will get better.   ps  i am alone all day with a three week old now and it is still hard to get out and do things but getting time to myself to just go to the store or talk to other moms about stuff other than our children is amazing.
