[...] I’m still a little bit curious about. There are a few what-if questions. (What if I’d gotten my MFA before I started barfing to my core with pregnancy #1, for instance.) But, for the most part, and on most days, I can honestly look at [...]

[...] and another. I started a writing group. And we met and we wrote and we critiqued. And I loved it. And I enrolled in a master’s program to study writing. And I finally found my voice. And I wrote stories. And part of a novel. And part of another novel. [...]

Thanks for the encouragement, everybody. A friend recently pointed out that you have to do things in order to a certain extent. Can’t have kids when I’m 50!

How Fun! What a great blog, love your topic, how fun to blog together. My sister and I raised all our kids practically together, and it’s such a blast. So many wonderful memories. I’m a very happy follower and will be back soon :)

You can’t stop dreaming!
There are so many things I would love to do. So many new interests, even on a daily basis. I barely have time to write or read (much less clean the house–and I’m sticking by that one!).
Just because it doesn’t fit into your life right now doesn’t mean it never will.
It won’t be long before those kids have interests of their own, and you’ll be looking desperately for something to fill the time.
Writing, and school (and cleaning) will always be there an din a similar manner. Your kids change so fast, why be distracted during their childhood?

You’re so right about how fast they grow up. My oldest is 13 1/2 and taller than I am! And it still seems like yesterday when he was a baby and would only nap on me. Oh, the glorious snuggles we had on the sofa! The lousy daytime television I slept through! How I miss those days.
Keep writing, definitely keep writing!

I still harbor dreams of an MFA… as if that could happen now. But. But there was this other dream, too. And right now I live it. You ring so true.
