Can anyone name some hobbies that I could look into to cure my time alone?

Question

I already read quite a bit. I also like to take pictures and make cards with them. My husband works on a swing shift and works a lot of overtime. So, I end up being alone quite often. What are some hobbies that I could look into?

Answer 1

If you have time during the day, the elementary schools would just love to have you come in to read a book to the kids or help them with certain projects.  They just don't have the time to do everything that is required of them, and any help at all is greatly appreciated.  

And, no, I'm not a teacher begging for help; I'm just a mom that knows.

Answer 2

you should adopt a pet!

since you like to take pictures... maybe o say... A DOG..

would be a great inspiration! =]

Answer 9

Hi my name is Robert,  I think the best  way to spend your time would be to help someone clean there house,  the reason why I say this,  A little less then 2 yrs ago my Mom went in for routine neck surgery,  when she came out of the hospital everything that could go wrong went wrong, She can longer clean her house or even make up the front stairs.  She has to be on oxygen now she cant even sleep with my dad anymore she has a special bed that she has to sleep in.    SO if you have free time think about this there is someone out there who would like to be part of free time.
