Matilda,
It sounds like you've made a commitment towards goals that look easy enough on the surface, but for you will be reinventing yourself. I'm glad that your expectations are reasonable--by rewarding yourself for baby steps.

Creating your own set of rewarding experiences will help you to cope with the uncertainties of your R at this time. I hope work and parenting are also rewarding for you.
