Thread: Needs a vacation from life - just a vent

Feel like I need a vacation from life. Spent the weekend with a sick kid. Hate my job. Work in pharmaceutical marketing and I feel like I sold my soul to the devil. Because I don't want to be there, I don't really work productively and waste time. Then I feel guilty, but at the same time am not motivated to do any work.

My husband works really long hours so I don't get to see much of him. When he is around, he is either doing yard work or watching TV. Feel like there's no romance in the relationship any more. We are just bogged down with managing finances, in-laws, kids, etc.

I live pretty remotely and don't get to do all the fun stuff I enjoyed before having kids. Dancing is probably my favorite thing in the world, but husband doesn't care. So I have to go by myself and the places around here aren't that fun - filled with really old people. Have to arrange a babysitter everytime I want to do anything since can't rely on husband, Even though we have lived here 6 years, still haven't made any good friends that I can talk to.

Its that time of the month and I always feel more depressed when I am PMSing. Not looking for advise. I guess I just needed to vent.

I can relate with some of this, especially living remotely and not having people in the area I can trust with my son (or ANY friends close by, actually.) It definitely sucks.
