Good morning everyone,
I am newly rejoined to cafe mom and new to this group. I am 40ih and BEYOND. I will be 50 in a month. That counts as beyond right? and 49 counts as 40 ish right?
So, I am 49, mom to a 12 year old. I just work work work and mother my son. My ex and I split up almost ten years ago which is something neither of us regret at all. I see that I am in a bit of a rut. I used to have a social life. I really don't have one anymore. I used to enjoy hobbies, mostly artistically related, enjoyed concerts, festivals, etc. I just don't do much anymore. I don't even know what I really enjoy these days. I used to take dance classes until I broke my ankle, till I gained even more weight, I stopped that years ago. I just read a lot, and do a lot to develop myself professionally and work on trying to be the best parent I can be to my son. I am judging myself and the ruling is that I might need to cultivate more of a life. I don't even know where to begin!!!! I can say on a positive note that I have taken off about 60 something pounds this past year. So, I am a smaller version of a person with not muh of a life.
I don't want to spend too much time on here, because lots of time on the computer won't help me build a life, but perhaps I will get some inspiration from other moms.. or at least a little entertainment.
Have a great Sunday!!!
Way to go on the lose of weight!!!

Hi ;-) and Welcome to the group! Glad to have you with us! I'm Linda.
Great intro, thanks for sharing and CONGRATS on your weight loss! Now's the time to get back into doing the things you love! And, to maybe do a class in something that your son loves too! He's at that age that soon he won't want to do classes with Mom, better grab him while you can! ;-) Hope you enjoy the group!
Hi , Thank you so much for the note of welcome!!!!!!!!! I like the idea of pursuing a class, perhaps something that my son would like too. I will keep everyone posted once we are in some mother son pottery, sushi making, tap dancing, fantasy football group...o.k. joking there, but I will find something. Stay warm!

Hi Dana, thanks for the welcome. I used to love doing beadwork. It can become slightly addictive. I used to travel a lot when I was younger and my souveneir where ever I went was a few beads. Go to London, get some beads, go to California, beads, Denmark, beads...
Have a great Sunday!!!!

Quoting .Holly.: Welcome to the group, nice to have you here. My birthday is in a month also. What day next month? I look forward to your posts.
The 23rd. This is a great birthday if you like to have ice storms and blizzards for birthdays. We had a mega blizzard last year. I really did enjoy it. I bought some treats, bought a new pair of fuzzy p.j's and a small bottle of alchohol. (I'm not a big drinker, so that was a special treat.) I got to be off from work for a week. That was my birthday gift from mother nature!!!!! As a kid there were many snowball fights, iglooo making , ice skating b-days. Have a snuggly Sunday!!!
