I often feel that there has to be more to this life. I feel unfulfilled, empty, bored, that I haven't accomplished much of anything, and that although I'm usually busy, I have few friends and don't do much socially.
I do love my husband and kids, we have 4, but I would never have kids to make me happy. I'd want to be secure and happy before going into it because having kids can create new problems, marital problems, and then the kids can have problems. If people truly want kids, then go for it, but if people are ambivalent, I'd wait and see where your feelings go.
I don't know what to do to feel fulfilled. I suppose, looking forward, and deciding what you want to accomplish before you die is good. I exercise all the time, and want to be physically fit, so I don't die of weight related problems. So, I'm considering doing an ironman at some point down the road, or 1/2 ironman if there is such a thing. I'd like to travel a bit with my husband. I'd like to get our relationship back to where it was at it's best, I'd like to go back to school and do something with my life. And then I'd like to be the best mother in law and grandmother ever.
I think my problem is I'm hormonal, so the grass is looking quite green for those who have 2 or 3 kids. Sorry, don't mean to whine. Slap me!
