Yep, new hobbies and hobby groups of some kind can help. Also activities are a big thing. Get out and meet new people with other interests. Do something that you have always wanted to.
Do a little skydiving, bungee, running, cycling, hockey, whatever you feel like. Take some time to yourself and some interests away from the kids to feel like you have your own identity.
Do NOT stay on yahoo answers 24/7 :p

I like to be informed so I checked your profile and MySpace. You said you like honesty so here it is. You are at a tough spot in your life. I was there myself at 24, seemed like in four years I got married one year, had a baby the next, got pregnant the next year and the 4th year had baby no. 2. This is NOT all you have. This piece of advice will pay off tremendously especially in about 10 years. Plan things with your family. Not just that but with your kids and their friends. You get to know the friends, get to find out what is going on and since you started when your were so young you will find that they are more confident and sharing of their feelings and fears. I did alot of field trips and meeting the (what I affectionatly call "Pod Mothers) Yikes the tennis playing...well I digress. You will find that it may not be as exciting as it sounds, even your husband will get envious of the memories and bonds you are sharing. Your friends will especially want to know "how you did it" meaning all the kids now call you mom. Sorry if this is not what you want to hear but I found it great (love the myspace by the way)

Yeah u could try getting a hobby that u used to love doing when u were a kid. Plan out what and when u want to do this hobby and have your husband watch the kids during that time. And if he refuses just tell him ur at ropes end and will go nuts if he don't.

The best way to feel good about your life is to step outside of yourself and find ways to serve others. Do some good in your community. As has been taught, lose yourself in the service of others and you will find yourself in the process.
For me, serving in the Church keeps me amply busy helping others to always feel good about what I'm doing with my life. I'm 55, married with six kids and life has never been busier.
Too often people today are looking for a thrill of some kind to entertain themselves. Its not all about you or me. It's all about everyone else and how we can help them to grow and become better. As we do that, we grow and become better ourselves. As you know from your own family, those people and things that we invest our time in, will become most important to us.
I hope this helps you to find a worthwhile service to satisfy your craving.

Seeing that you have a family,thake the family out for something you and your children could enjoy together.You could also make a list with your kids of things you both enjoy and try to complete it.

TRAVEL!!! Seeing and experiencing new places, and at the same time sharing this with your family, will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. And when I say travel, I mean travel OUTSIDE of the US of A.

travel, take up a hobbie, hang out with other married couples or maybe get away from the kids for a while.

Do you know of your hobbies? Do you like being creative?
Ever been with a woman? Spend $300 on dinner lately?
