Life After Divorce | The New Me Mom

Its January and we are in the middle of what feels like a city lockdown! Our little town got close to 6 inches of snow in one day. A record! And that’s quite a bit for our Tennessee town. And because we don’t live in a state where we get much snow, there isn’t much need for snow removal vehicles. Monday we started getting snowed in then we get the school emails that school won’t be open for the next two days. That’s great and all but I don’t even have my kids this week. This would be my week to work and make extra money. Can’t really do that since where I work follows the public school schedule. So if you’ve read previously I hate to be inside and alone. It makes me feel uneasy to not have my kids and to not have something planned to do. However, this week I don’t get much of a choice. I’m forced to be inside and go nowhere. Now I’m facing my biggest fear. Loneliness. My car is still snowed in, my sidewalk still hasn’t been cleared. Yesterday I was bored out of my mind! I cleaned up my new blogging home page and personalized it just so. I started my “Worldviews” class for my history class I’m taking and knocked out some assignments way before they’re even due. Tried to take a nap and of course couldn’t. And being a bored hairstylist I got some ambition and did something to my hair. Yup, I highlighted my hair yesterday too. This was all on snow-day one. So snow-day two… I’ve been working on some school stuff, trying to purge the house of anything and that really isn’t much since I like to keep things neat and tidy, and trying to find anything on tv. I mean I don’t even think I like tv to be honest. I can’t ever find anything I like to watch. I’ve tried making doctors appointments that I have been neglecting to make but those clinics are closed of course, due to the snow. Just trying to stay busy with anything. My dad says, “just open a bottle of wine.” So today I did. Its 2pm and with nothing to do, why not! Not something I even keep on hand but it was left from when I had family in town over Christmas. What do you do for snow-days if you don’t have your kids around? I mean, I don’t have a clue what I’m going to do for tomorrow if I’m already this bored on day 2.
