That happened to me. I became a genuis.. LOL., nah, just kidding..

But "something" did happen to me at that age. It was like an acute awareness
of "stuff", of life, emotions, actions and reactions.. I attributed my
"awakening" to the fact that my children were all finally out of the high
maintenance stage after more than 10 years of intense "need" for their Moma.
JP was about 4, potty trained, .. And the older kids were old enough to
help watch out for each other. I thought it was a matter of getting
married young, knowing no other life but wife and mother for over 13 years..
Then BAM! I realized, there was a 'me" in there, seperate from "them"..

Heck, maybe it was all that.. or maybe it was the brain-spurt. At any rate,
I really went through a tough time for a couple of years. But, now, I just
enjoy my new "philosophical" outlook on life.
