It finally happened. A single friend of mine asked me what was new with me. What is new with me? Not much. The kids have been behaving. The baby has settled into a nice routine that includes sleeping 10-12 hours a night and we're getting ready for school to start. Not really exciting information for some one who lives a life of freedom. Another mom might find my time out anecdotes funny or want to hear about the newest recipe I tried, but I can't imagine it's that interesting to some one who's single and has an interesting job.
I felt boring. I had nothing interesting to contribute to the conversation. It's only been 5 and a half months since my last day at work and my life has become dimensionless. I used to be a mom, a wife, a researcher, a commuter, a teacher and a student just to name a few. That list is now down to a wife and mom. I'm sure if I really thought about it there would be more to the list, but right now, that's all I've got. I've really got to find time for a hobby.
