I don't stay at home, but I did not accomplish nearly
as much as I feel I should have career-wise,and
constantly dread running into people that I went to
school with( I was supposed to do all of these great
things!). I spent quite a few years at home with my
kids and found myself very behind when I finally did
go back to work. One thing I can suggest is that you
do something for you. Take the time out to take a
creative writing class, or dance (whatever makes you
happy)and build on that. I wish I would have. I don't
know what to tell you about the reunion. Chances
are,things won't be as bad as you think(have you seen
Romy and Michelle's high school reunion?). Hope this
made some sense, I tend to babble alot;).
