Yeah, I married and had a baby and all that, but I've always longed for adventure. I've never wanted to stay in the area where I was born and raised (like my brother did) or settle into a "normal" life. I want to travel, see the world, move to a different STATE!<BR/><BR/>When my daughter was born, we talked a lot about babies, too. That has stopped some. I think we talked about it so much because babies completely CONSUME your life for so long. They're all you can think about for a few months. <BR/><BR/>I'm feeling the same way you are - antsy. Ready to move on. Find a new job. A new adventure.<BR/><BR/>And then I get scared and think I should just be happy with what I have. It's not that I'm NOT happy, but I don't want to settle, y'know?Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12700936.post-1136474939410754492006-01-05T11:28:00.000-04:002006-01-05T11:28:00.000-04:00Sorry you're being left out.

We've got no kids either (not our choice, but OTOH, we're enjoying life without them), and it's really hard when we get in a room with a lot of parents who talk about NOTHING but their babies. I can do a lot of the lingo, having been around my sis and her kids a lot, but still, there are times it would be nice to have a REAL conversation. <BR/><BR/>If you're thinking of moving, does Hot Guy from the branch office figure in? *g*Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12700936.post-1136470105161000722006-01-05T10:08:00.000-04:002006-01-05T10:08:00.000-04:00I think part of this is just the natural breaking ...I think part of this is just the natural breaking away/growing up thing with families. But yes, people with babies talk non stop about them. And while I fully admit I joined in when my kids were little, now that my kids are high school/college age...I'd search out a kid to discuss super heroes over listening to breastfeeding/when to start solids/potty training talk anyday. I think it's just one of those different stages of your life things. Though I'm sure when I hit grandma stage I'll be right back into the baby talk stuff...<BR/><BR/>Sorry that you're feeling like an outsider though. That sucks. You like to believe you'll always feel like one of the group with your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
