Comments on: Pigglecake – Life Lessons from Two http://motherhoodthefinalfrontier.com/2009/09/21/pigglecake-life-lessons-from-two/ After decades of urban sophistication, career hopping, and ambitious cocktail swilling, I traded it all for 11th hour parenthood. Apparently you can't just hand in your 2 weeks' notice for this one and there is no vacation..

I love that post and the word 'Pigglecake' (and no, I'm not just commenting to get a slice of cake!) I tagged you for a meme over at mine, if you want to join in :o) You can do it!

Sweet addicted and persistent. I do think there is something for asking repeatedly for what you want. It does very little harm and someone just might say yes. best of luck to you!

That is your reward for commenting (if you didn't see my confectionary triumph, click on the title of the post for photographic evidence) LLG. Funny, you seem so very confident, but then I do, too and in the meantime my legs wobble like jelly every time I have to do something new. We'll have to take heart and dive in to new ventures! Pigglecake! Laura, thanks so much. I will do my best Exromana, thanks as ever for your support. And yes, that boy as delicious as...Pigglecake Jessica. I think it most wise of you to suggest leaving the mad and keeping the daring. There are quite a few things best relegated to the past ;) Little Brown Bird. Pigglecake for you, for SURE! Amandeep, you have clearly ALREADY eaten Pigglecake, from what I know about you and your own courage, and I really appreciate the support! TheMadHouse, Do we just get softer as time goes on, or are the younger ones just better at optimism? PottyMummy. I'll have to buy the URL! But what would it sell? Noble Savage, tx v much xo NVG. You must be in exactly the same situation. Very hard to get going again, especially after the big move. You get double helpings. Perhaps we should form a n expat support group with Iota? Iota? I have also let an unmentionable number of prime moments pass and this is partly what makes me feel so lethargic. I'm coming over to see your post. And you can have a slice with BLANKIE (Two and Five fight over this bit, much coveted) The Mother. I'm not sure I agree with you there. Not all children are optimistic and not all grownups are pessimistic. Personalities seem to be what they are from an early age although early optimism can be damaged by outside trauma and disappointment.

It is in the nature of adults to be eternally pessimistic. We have to work at getting out of it. It is in the nature of children to be eternally optimistic–at least until they hit the teens.

I'm feeling that when the moment comes, you know it, and you have to get on out there and do your stuff. It's a question of not letting the moment pass (and I feel I've done that quite a bit).

It is always so hard to get up and go again, and especially after having kids AND moving continents. I've stopped work for two maternity leaves, and now the move - that's three times in the space of five years. It's going to take a real effort to put myself out there again. I think I'd like a slice of pigglecake too. I know exactly where you are coming from. It is always so hard to get up and go again, and especially after having kids AND moving continents.
