I have been through that..BUT it felt great once I accomplished everything. I have never had a feeling like that in my life...oh and the date thing..I have learned it never really lasts..Most dont stick around and now I want to smack myself in the head for ever being upset up that..I too sit home with no kids. Most of my friends are just starting their families so no single ones left. I have to rebuild so I actually have something to do on Saturday nights cause I am bored beyond belief now that the house is in tip top shape...Hugs
