Any stay at home moms out there? (ex sahms?)

I am having a struggle and I need some encouragement. I have been a SAHM for 10 years (yes, TEN. Thats scary) I am happily married, and we have 3 kids, 9 - 6 - 2. I love them dearly, but lately, I feel like motherhood and staying home is sucking the joy right out of my life. I feel overwhelmed and frustrated 95% of the time. I resent my DH because this is the one problem he can't really understand or do anything about.

School will be starting in 2 weeks, then I'll be down to 1 kid again during the day, so maybe that will help.

But I feel so GUILTY for feeling this way. I don't want to go back to work (I don't think) because I feel like it will only add more problems. And really - financially, by the time I pay for daycare, gas, the wardrobe... I wouldn't make enough to bother. Really.

I thought I was doing fine with this until 3 (yes, THREE) of my good friends who were SAHMs went back to work, and now we never talk. It was like the rug being pulled out from under me. I resent them, too, now. They have new friendships budding all the time from working, and here I sit, alone.

I feel like my life is fading away, like there is this world outside of me that I am imprisoned from!

I know I sound dramatic, so I'll stop lamenting. Any advice?
