[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I set a goal for myself and made time to work towards it. I also ramped it up at work, started exercising more, and socializing more (often with families in tow, but not always), becoming politically active. I also plan family activities around my interests (backpacking, other stuff outside, cooking, planning parties, some political events). The goal setting was a conscious effort to reclaim a bit of myself coming off two kids in less than two years, and started when my youngest was 18 months. Before that, we were hunkered down and exhausted and just making it through. The other stuff has come more naturally as my kids have gotten older. Making a conscious effort not to overschedule kids helps tremendously in making time, as does having a supportive husband. I'm certainly in 'mom' mode most of the time but don't feel like I've lost myself at all.[/quote] You don't have a demanding job, do you?[/quote]
