At times, I really miss it. It's such an exciting and hopeful time and falling in love all over again with a new person. Then I realize finally, after 7 years, I can get into a car and not have to buckle anyone in but myself. I say "let's go" and we just go without bags, car seats and sippy cups. Wow! Then I realize my youngest starts kindergarten this fall and, holy cow, is this really IT for us? And I'm back again to wanting more. I wonder if it will really ever end. <em>Queen of Shake Shake's last blog post..<a href='http://queenofshake-shake.blogspot.com/2008/04/im-telling-tooth-whole-tooth-and.html' rel="nofollow">I'm Telling the Tooth, the Whole Tooth, and Nothing But the Tooth</a></em> I’ve been out of the pregnancy/baby place for a few years now.

If money were not object, it would be easy, I would volunteer, and lunch with friends, etc.. But it's not that easy, and I honestly don't know what to do. I've been a Mom for (almost) 24 years. That's a really, really long time. Yes, I know you never stop being a mom, but my youngest is 5, and I truly have no idea what to do with my life now. I could really relate to the issues in your post. We women face a lot of turning points, don't we? <em>Mom24's last blog post..<a href='http://4evermom.blogspot.com/2008/04/happy-birthday.html' rel="nofollow">Happy Birthday...</a></em> I’m trying to learn to cope with the idea of having all my kids in school soon, and what do I do with the rest of my life.

Every once in awhile I think "I'd better make sure I don't get pregnant", and then I remember. It's such a huge part of being a woman - even when you're not trying hard to conceive, that I'm not sure how to handle it either now that I can't have another. <em>Randi's last blog post..<a href='http://ifyoucant.blogspot.com/2008/04/cruel-and-unusual-punishment.html' rel="nofollow">Cruel and Unusual Punishment?</a></em> Even though I never expected to have another child, the fact that I now have my tubes tied thanks to an ectopic pregnancy still baffles me.
