I find I am busy, but at the same time bored and stressed. I really do not find housework stimulating, I do enjoy cooking and I am not very good at "play" with the kids. I agree with you about the loneliness. To me whilst playgroups, ABA etc are helpful for that, I am still home alone without adult conversation most of the week. It was something I really noticed when we stayed at MIL's for 2 weeks. It was so nice to have other adults in the house.
