The sad thing is that I didn't chase them hard enough when I had the chance. I NEVER got my degree, but hey, YOU DID! You have been to foreign countries, and I have never even stepped foot across the US border! You have learned foreign languages, and you are very savvy when it comes to culture. Just think about how that helps you be such an awesome Mom--you are teaching your kids to spread their wings too! And M is so incredibly smart, and she has always been so level headed! You should ponder more on the awesome things you have accomplished, and say to yourself, someday, I'm gonna get even further!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9634452.post-33984241532459973002008-05-11T13:10:00.000-07:002008-05-11T13:10:00.000-07:00jo, you are not the only one who asks this, and yo...jo, you are not the only one who asks this, and your asking it doesn't mean you are a bad mom...by any means. It means you are human. You have dreams, everyone does, and having them doesn't make the reality you are living any less lovely or important.<BR/><BR/>I have been in an interesting position the last 10 years. For the last ten years I have seen friend after friend marry and have children. It's been interesting because I have gone on to live the lives that a lot of them really wanted to (sans the yoga class....I'm not in that kind of shape either lol!) I have traveled, I have lived in foreign countries, I have improved my photography and painting and talents in other ways. I have gotten a master's degree from a prestigious school, I work at a successful job, I am starting my PhD this summer......and well, somehow, I've just been thinking how much I would like a baby.<BR/><BR/>So, even though we are happy and content with our lives, dreaming always gives us something more to aim for. Your kids will grow, giving you more time for your personal dreams, I'll get married and have kids one day and give room for those dreams.<BR/><BR/>That's the awesome thing about life! We still have so much to look forward to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584248569655542892noreply@blogger.com
