I was talking to a friend today about how to redefine ourselves beyond our "mommy" roles, and she mentioned some continuing education classes she's interested in and possibly part time work in her pre-kid field.

It is funny how later in life we really develop the knowledge and skills to fully appreciate college...but are too busy (or cranky) or settled to do it.

But I look at what I got out of my college experience and know that there's no doubt I wouldn't have done things differently. I met my closest friends, launched my writing career and fell in love with my wonderful husband.

But maybe someday I'll go back and finish....or not. Who knows. But I won't be going back to the full college lifestyle.
