I feel like my life is at a stand still.

I talk to friends and they are all doing such exciting things with their lives and I am....

hanging out with my boys. I plan to be a SAHM (which I do enjoy) until they go to kindergarden. I have my Master's and don't plan on getting any more education (school's out forevah!) LOL

I guess I could get a part time job... Does anyone else ever feel this way? I feel like my life is mapped out for the next few years.

LOL...yes. DH and I were half-kiddingly kicking around the idea of moving to New Zealand for a few years last week. Clearly I need some excitement in my life.

I don't know. I'm a working mom, but I feel so lucky to spend time with my daughter and to watch her learn and play. My single friends may be experiencing "exciting things" or traveling, but I get to watch my child(ren) grow up and explore the world. I love being a part of that.

YES

my friends are in grad school, med school, moving up the career ladder, or just at the bar every night (NOT what i want to be doing).

i know it was my choice to SAH, but we are just at such different points in our lives... right about now is when track practice would be starting up, but i'm not coaching this year. Tongue Tied that was my guaranteed way to exercise, get out everyday, and socialize.

i just have to wait it out until we are moved and all under the same roof, and then it all starts over again.

yes. we half-kid/half-serious talk about moving to honduras all the time LOL if we didnt have family here, we'd be gone.

and thats why i picked up a hobby. i was bored. and it turned out pretty well

one friend of mine is a SAHM and for her, it is going to the gym twice a week. the kids go to the gym daycare and she can sit on the treadmill for an hour just reading trashy novels feeling like she is single again.

lol that is me. only 3-4x a week and only talk to my other SAHM friends without kids saying "momma? momma? momma?" in the background LOL

listen, i love my life. every second of it. but that doesnt mean that i have to pretend its wild and crazy and fun all the time.

TOTALLY...

Most of my good friends are single or without kids and they are living it up! DH asked last night (as I was looking at a girlfriend partying like a rockstar in NYC) if I wanted a life like that. Although I can say that I am slightly envious of the freedom and the disposable income....I wouldn't trade time with my LO for anything!!

I have just recently started scrapping again and have seriously set aside one day a month to get a sitter during the day to do whatever I want....go out with friends, get my nails done, hair did, mall cruising, or lunch with friends. It has to be cheap cuz we're on a budget....but it's time for ME to do whatever the heck I feel like. And it's glorious!! Only have done it once....but can't wait for February's trip!

Just try to get out of the house to do something you enjoy without the boys at least once a month. If you can do more, great....but that one day really re-energized me!
