No place to go!!

[heidiabigail]

I just tried taking your advice and calling home. I got my dad on the phone, so I asked for mom, and she was putting my brother (3-years-old) to bed, so I just said nevermind and hung up. [img]frown.gif[/img]

So give her half-an-hour and call her back! [img]wink.gif[/img] Putting a three-year-old to bed is a perfectly legitimate excuse for not being able to spend time talking. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Sometimes those little ones can be real little [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] And no matter how much we love them, caring for them can take up a huge amount of our time. This does not mean your Mom doesn't love you or doesn't want to talk to you! In fact, she's probably feeling like she loves you much more right now because she doesn't have to wrestle you into bed every night!!! [img]wink.gif[/img]

I don't know where you go to school but public transportation is an option if your city/town has it. Bus drivers are normally very nice people and are willing to tell you what places are along their routes. I didn't have a car my first year of college either and it made life very difficult at times. I know what if feels like to be the only one left in a dorm, been there, done that more than once. I use to stay at school for Thanksgiving and eventually started spending it with the family of a friend of mine. It actually became a tradition right down to be having to play on the boys team of "battle of the sexes". I also found that going to work or somewhere to volunteer helped. I had a friend who when he felt lonely would go have coffee at the soup kitchen with the homeless.

I am the Mom of 4 grown children, and sometimes with all the commotion, out of sight, out of mind.

I know when the boys came home for a visit the youngest always had to be the center of attention. Jealousy, it creeps in no matter how hard you try to be fair. Thank goodness the youngest has a BF and now things are more even tempered.
But your Mom sounds like she has her hands full. Maybe if you offer your Mom a break for a couple of hours and babysit the siblings. Then maybe for payment she can let you run to the grocery store or WalMart for a few things to get you by the week. She doesn't know your out of groceries and doesn't know the cafeteria is closed. Maybe she just forgot.
And if that's not a solution, go to ebay and get a microwave, cheap. Order a Pizza, large, and make it last.
I'm also sending you a hug and if you want a care package, just PM me.

Wow! This broke my heart! I have never experienced anything like this, so I offer my prayers.

Hugs and thank you for posting this plea so we may comfort you. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/broken_heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/girl_hug.gif[/img]

*huggles* [img]graemlins/girl_hug.gif[/img] . I'm a sophomore and although I sort of have a car, it's at home (16 hrs away) and I don't have a license. Pizzas are good if you can get delivery. With the time alone you could try to get some homework done- like any papers you might have due. I wish I could send you a chocolate bar and a big subway sandwhich. I've never been in as bad a situation as you are in, but sometimes the friends in my suite don't chat with me. If they knock they usually ask for my roomate (who is like never there) and then they leave. A couple of them are here (our Easter break was fri-Mon) and I haven't talked to or seen them at all. It can get annoying, especially when you're the last to know something too. And one of my friends (the one I've known since kindergarten) thinks its a burden if I ask to go to Walmart. I hope everything works out! Enjoy some peace and quiet. [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img]

thanks for replying- it helps somehow to know that people out there care about me. I got a call to come in to work in the morning, so at least I have something to do, and something to go to bed for (eventually).

We don't have public transportation here, this college is not exactly in or near a city. It was a good thought though. (the nearest soup kitchen is over an hour away. I volunteered at it a few times in high school).

Yea, work, I love to go to work. Smile at everyone and see who's day you brighten up. Maybe you won't be so lonesome, because you'll be to tired.
I just googled "Free Stuff" and all sorts of things came up. Have some fun.

I'm so sorry that you feel that way! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] If I were in your shoes, I would definitely talk to someone about the way you feel. If you can't tell a parent, talk to an aunt, uncle, or grandparent who has a good relationship with one or both of your parents and would be able to tell them how you feel and make them understand that you want things to change. Sometimes it is easier for people to hear these kinds of things coming from family or friends they have known most if not all of their lives, or a person they can trust.

Heidi, I am so sorry. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
Please don't give up on talking to your mom. She needs to know how you feel.
Working tomorrow will keep you busy and you never know who you will bump into.
Sending you hugs from Canada. [img]graemlins/boy_hug.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/girl_hug.gif[/img]
