Do you ever feel as though you are living the movie "Groundhog Day"? If nobody saw that movie, it is an old one with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, a weatherman covering "Groundhog day" and wakes up the next day and it is the same day.
I sometimes don't even know what day of the week it is. My husband works third shift so he comes home and sleeps. I'm home w/my son. My husband isn't really into going out and so we end up watching TV. Same shows ever night. Errrgh.
I'm wondering if I'm going through a mid-life crisis or something because I am so bored and dissatisfied with my life and marriage right now.
Is it just me or is this what 30 something married life is like? Is it pretty normal to just feel like your existing but not really living? I watch Joyce Meyer on TV and she talks about enjoying everyday life. If I get out of the house to go grocery shopping that is a big thing now. I've started getting into working out and have gotten myself into shape again post-baby. Sometimes I ask myself why bother, but I know I feel better about myself. I asked my husband and he says he doesn't care if I lose weight, gain weight, or choose to do nothing. It is pretty sad when the highlight of my day is an email from a friend. LOL!
Do you ever find yourself wondering "Is this all there is?" I feel guilty even asking this question or feeling this when God blessed me with a beautiful child. I know I should focus on that and that is what I'm trying to do. I'm just concerned because we are heading into winter and so for us that means even more reasons to be house bound. What do you do to make daily life more exciting?

Wow if you are ony in your 30's you definately not going through the midlife crisis Lorilynn, you are far too youing for that.lol
Life isnt always exciting and sometimes it is routine and seems dull. Joyce Meyer went through many many years where she was very unhappy due to her past, but her life isnt actually typical for most people.
Have you got friends? Do you go to things at your church?Can you meet up with other women who have kids of the same age? Go swimming together?Have a coffee? mother and toddler groups? Is there a person you know who needs to have a visitor?

guilty as charged....
i work 3rd shift too and my wife is somewhat peeved at how things are... but she never told me. she finally told me a couple months ago she doesnt like how i come home and watch the news and play video games, then go to bed at noon. she would much rather i go to bed when i get home so we can wake up at 4 and do stuff. so i tried it, and i actually like this schedule better! we have time to go out and stuff before work, its nice. maybe you should tell him how you feel... but in a nice way :D

I tried to tell him. There is always an excuse. He works for his dad and could do his job during the day, but he likes the night. He also LOVES to sleep. My family jokes about him being vampire (I have Christian family so it is not literal).
He tells me not to even bring it up (his schedule), so I don't because it really is not worth the fight.
I have my major problems, too. I hate to clean, I actually get anxiety attacks if I have a ton of cleaning to do (I hate this about myself, I know I should be the one to clean). He likes to clean, so he does help with that. So when he comes home, he'll tidy up a bit while the baby and I are still sleeping and then head to bed. When he wakes up in the evening (he usually sleeps 10+ hours) he just wants to be left alone. So we sit and watch TV, I feed the baby, he will sometimes go back to bed or play video games.
I don't have any good friends my age. They are all older. It is hard make friends at church that want to see you more than on Sundays. Everyone is so busy with their own lives, so I understand.
It sometimes helps to know what other people's lives are like. I hate feeling so odd. I have an unconventional marriage and a very dull life for being so young. Going to the grocery store has lost it's appeal. LOL!

Part of what makes a "small" Church great is people getting involved in one another's lives.
Best way to forget your troubles is to help someone with even greater problems.
Rather than pray that the Lord will send someone to help you, ask Him to bring to you someone you can offer help. Maybe there is an older lady in Church that would love for you and the baby to drop by for a visit?

We went through a period where every day seemed like the day before. I think there are some good comments above on what to think about.
One thing that helped us was starting to sit down and make plans for the next three months or more. Every month we sat down and looked out for three months to make plans for things to do. We always kept time for last minute ideas. Most of us are busy with work and day to day living that we forget to make plans for fun.
An article that one of the admins posted on I Support Your Marriage a few months ago talked about this. http://www.growthtrac.com/artman/publish/advance-decisions-1246.php

So she is looking for healthy positive things to do during the day. Currently is volunteering at an animal shelter once a week. She wants to find a homeless shelter and help there too. Life is what you make it.
