ruby,
You are absolutely right- I AM afraid of the loss of my "mother" role. I can't even begin to tell you how much my life revolves around my kids and how I have defined myself so much in this role.

I need to do this in baby steps though. SO, I am going to sign up for a meetup to play indoor tennis this coming weekend. New people, something I haven't done in eons and something I enjoy. No expectations except to have a little fun, and meet a few new people. Nothing scary about that, right? ...okay.

Thanks, guys!

On another note-boys & I went out and got all the "kitty stuff" we'll be needing soon. We are going to pick out a kitten from a litter of 10 at the beginning of next week. Again, we are all excited (and H clearly feels left out...oh well). Boys and I are having fun thinking of cat names- any suggestions?

I decided to make a "kitty door" (hole at the bottom of our basement door) so kitten's litter box can be in basement. H wasn't too excited about that at all. He also was a little taken aback that I was going to ask my neighbor friend to do this for me.
