Okay, I know I can't be the only one who feels old now and again. I'm 21 and I catch myself calling my peers "dumb kids" and stuff. What do you ladies do to remind yourselves that you ARE young and still a woman outside of Mommy? I've been taking a dressmaking and design course via the mail and working on my bellydancing. What are your hobbies that keep you sane?

    I'm on the opposite end of things- I have to keep reminding myself I'm not 18 anymore, and at the end of my 20's, that really was a while ago! then I look in the mirror and remember. Not depressed or anything, just realizing I don't have so much time to plot & plan my life goals anymore. some things really have passed me by, some of them ideas I still cling to. Learning to let go... that's my biggest challenge. I take joy in my kids & dance to stay sane, I do periodic, scheduled just for fun stuff like writing music during February Album Writing Month. I know I won't ever 'make it big' in music, and most of the year it's all pent up, but I know in February I have a group of artistic peers who take me as I am & offer encouragement (& temporary, blissful insanity!)
    I used to schedule mommy days once a month- didn't get the kids out of bed, didn't read night time stories, I could be at home or not, but someone else had to deal with the mundane world for a bit. Stopped when baby 3 was born & need to get that going again!
