So its been a while since I have blogged. Since the last time I have been to Alberta and back at least 3 times. I haven't actually spent a lot of time here - hence why it still feels like a vacation and not home I think.
And its not like its a fun vacation anymore - now its like one of the ones you had to endure as a kid when your parents dragged you to some obscure relative where they had nothing for you to do. Thats what it feels like.
I check Facebook and I see what my friends and family are doing back in Alberta and wish I was there. Don't get me wrong - living here is like paradise - beautiful landscape. But its lonely. And yes if one more person tells me I am going to meet people soon in response I think I am going to lose my mind. I am not a hermit of course I am going to meet people. But in the meantime what do I do? And what if they aren't my kind of people lol I miss my Trina and Angel.
Add to the fact that the only human interaction I really get every day is my kids - not great conversationalists - it feels very isolated out here.
So what does my days consist of? Making meals for the kids, laundry, dishes, researching and signing the kids up for stuff, doctors and dentist appointments - and really I would just love a break! not that what I am doing is hard - but it would just be nice to have a day where I don't have to do any of that. Where I can spend the day with a friend walking around Victoria. Two problems with that - that kind of day doesn't exist for me, and I don't have a someone out here to do it with.
On the other hand I am trying to figure out ways to meet people and not just through my kids. I am going to try selling epicure out here. Gotta meet people that way right? And I get to make some money.
I've also applied for some part time jobs - lord I miss adult interaction.
On the upside of the summer we got to spend a week with all five kids. It was a good visit. Kids loved the beach and the drive through BC. Stopped and seen wildlife, and Hell's gate. And this way the kids can now plan for what they would like to do over Christmas when they are all here again. Can't believe how fast the week went! Too soon we were dropping the kids off and Corey was back to work.
So this very social girl is finding it very lonely out here - homesickness sucks! And I am only hoping the "this will get better" will "hurry up and get here already!"
Well off to cook supper - oh the excitement!
