Does it count if you are 49 with 117 days to go until 50?

I'm almost 50 and it's been really difficult finding forums or even blogs that deal with women in menopause and heading into their 50's - a great age I might add.  I have two daughters, a senior in high school that I'm home schooling and a 20 year old that is a junior in college.  It seems weird to be at that place in my life where I'm not chasing children around.  We home schooled both girls (secular) up until high school.  My oldest elected to go to high school.  My youngest elected to stay at home.

Now I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up - not true - I want to be a writer something I put on the back burner for too many years to count.  I am a teacher and have a degree in history also so I suppose I could go back to teaching but really, I think I'm done with kids for awhile.

**Yea, I don't think that will ever happen.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

I think we do have ladies here that are beyond their 40s. Is that what you're asking? I'd have to lie about my age to stay here. I'd be dead before I admitted I was 50 if I thought I couldnt be in this group.

I turn 50 in August, in this group there is a forum all on menopause, it really helps to read through some of the posts. We had seven my 4 his three the youngest is also a senior in high school, I have one in college, one in the Navy, one graduated tech school two that work for us and one that's a caregiver in an assisted living home. I never figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up and when I did finally figure it out well I already work for my hubby so maybe my next life. Any way look around here there are plenty of us here that can help.

Hi homschir4ever,

I can relate. I will be 50 in just 5months. Having 7 sons with only one at home ( which I homeschool also) It is just hard to believe that I will be trying to find me again. I really don't think that there was ever a "Me" I have always been "somebody's child" somebody's mother" somebody's wife" soon I will be just me, and I can deal with that. lol This really was suppose to be my husband's and I time to travel, but since I lost him two years ago I have to change the plan. I really haven't thought about it much. I have put all my attention for the last two years on my children. I got a few years before my youngest graduate so I am in no rush. Well enough of ramblings.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day
