And sometimes it really gets me down, especially when the weather starts getting nice like it has been. I don't mind being home in the winter, but in the summer I really wish I had more of a life outside of my home. Sometimes it's even a chore to drag myself out just to do shopping and other errands. Luckily I have kids and am forced to get out for their school and sporting events. Otherwise, I hate to think how lonely I'd be. But...the ability to always be available for my family outweighs the isolation problem at this point (I think :)
