Hi @Bubbles3

I have felt better - I got a shock last week when I learned that I have lost most of the knee cartilege in my right knee - sometime I might need a knee replacement but my doctor said not until I feel okay about it and then only half the knee - which feels better

For some reason I have not really been able to get myself into full doing-whatever-I-can mode since then - I have chosen to put up with the knee for now but me - ah - I am all over the place

I remember when my kids were small - two kids two years apart - well timed I guess - but I felt totally unfulfilled and when they were both old enough I went back to school - everyone told me that would be too much but I actually completed an Honours Degree studying part time

So this was a good thing because children don't stay little forever - they turn into people - my daughter is a fine woman - I am proud of her

But when they were little I missed working and having a social life and so much I never thought of at the time - we can really love our children but they can demand so much from us

Really - I get it - my story is quite different but I know how small children really rearrange what we have planned for the day

All the best
