Since we have moved I have had some hard days, good days, and bad days. Living away from home has been really hard on me. I have been home sick really bad lately. The past seven months I've been trying to find a job that will allow me to be able to be home with my son, or a job that will allow me to get off work to pick him up from school. I have had some not go through. I finally had a job go through, which took pressure off me. I was really excited to know I would be able to stay home and watch this little boy with some disabilities and be there for my son. After knowing I had this job for the past month now things would be good. I received a call from my friend today saying that they were not going to use me anymore and that they decided to take their son to daycare. I was speechless, sad, mad, and disappointed. I was suppose to start next Monday. It's hard to know they only gave me one weeks notice when I know I could have been out looking for the past month for something else. I know my Heavenly Father will bless me at the right time and place I need to be. I hope it will be soon. I am thankful for family and friends that have supported me.

Liz, I am so sorry you are home sick. I have been for 10 years now. I will say that every move I have made has been hard for me. I found it took a good two years to want to be where I was. Looking back I wish I could have just loved each place from the beginning because I did grow to love every place I have been, but you can't wish the loneliness away. You can't just say "snap" I am going to be happy here. It really takes time. It is a loneliness I wouldn't wish on anyone and something I don't think anyone in my family has felt. I have so many friends who still live near their family say how they always wanted to move away and envy me that I have moved to so many new places. They don't understand that it is exciting and has been an adventure, but is terribly lonely. I think a job would help you. A job where you left the home and made some coworker friends would be perhaps even better than watching someone in your home. Being home makes it all the harder. Have you looked on meetup.com. Join a moms group on there. Some cost money and some don't, but they are very cheep. Like 15 dollars a year. They post activities and you go to whatever ones you want. I am in a hiking group, a photography group, and have been in a moms group. It is a great way to get out and about and not feel so lonely. You are lucky you can go home so often. I was that way in the beginning, but it isn't that way anymore for me. It will be a year this time between being home and the last time it was 18 months. People grow okay with you being gone and seem to not care anymore and that hurts too. I hope you don't have that experience. Another thing that helped me was joining a gym. We have always been so so poor so it was a sacrifice to spend the money on a gym, but I made friend there especially when I went the same day everyday or to the same classes everyday. If you can spare the money not only will the exercise help your spirits but you may make a friend or two. Pittsburgh has been my hardest move. Other places I have made friends easier and had room in my house to have people over. I live in 950 sq feet now and we have five in our family so having anyone over for dinner or to hang out feel so hard for me in our small small space. If you can invite people over often. Most the time they reciprocate and you will find the friendships grow faster. Keep looking for jobs. Have you signed up on care.com as a childcare provider. I have watched a few kids from doing that. I think you may have luck there. Anyway, I want you to know that I know how hard this is and that you are going to be stronger for it. Keep your chin up and keep trying. You will be great.
Love ya Liz! That caring, happy, and couragous spirit of yours is going to take you far! I'm hoping the best for you! Your knowledge that Heavenly Father is aware of you is the best first step you could have taken. Something better is just around the corner!
Good luck - keep us posted!
I miss you and know I had a hard time being away from family and friends when I lived in Texas. Hang in there:)
Keep haning on. Your right, the Lord is mindful of you and when its right the right job will come a long for you.
