I wanted to be an Astronaut (sp?). I still would love to go into outer space, to the moon, mars.......
Than I wanted to have 10 kids and be a wife... That changed with the first pregnancy, labor and delivery. The other two are lucky to be here!
I'm not sure where nursing came into the picture. I was sick alot when I was younger and I remember this one nurse that was soo nice to me. I love what I do now and wouldn't change a thing!

Chill out, Dawg! LOL, I don't think we hate our lives at all.
Mine is pretty great, all in all. My kids are healthy and happy. My Mom and Dad and Grandma are healthy and happy.
My dream of being a rock star was just helping me pass the time til I could get grown-up and leave. It was a fun fantasy--that was all. I'm much more suited to manage a band than to star in one. My business sense FAR outweighs my talents (or lack thereof). I can only sing when I've had a few and they tell me I'm horrid.
Right now I'm busy being a mom and wife, and being in the support circle of my friends. Really, you can't ask for anything more than that.

I want to be a better version of me. For the first time in a long time I like myself and the only things I have to prove are to me. So who will I be? I'll be me, wiser, more stable, more emotionally available and more financially free.

I wanted to be a Broadway actress. That or a ballet dancer. A good wife and mother. (Tho I don't think anyone gave me a realistic view of that idea) So I am still trying to be a good mother. That takes a lot of work and is everchanging. I am enjoying it more everyday lately. The last few weeks especially, my son and oldest daughter have really held my attention. AND looking at my youngest, I see all of my childhood dreams come to life. She has this way of being truly a child. Not a care in the world, unless it is to make sure we don't kill the bees out back. (She is a treehugger and quite a free spirit)
It really is great to see children that have not had their mind pumped full of crap and religion, blossom. I am really getting a huge heartful watching them grow. I am trying to arrange my whole lifestyle to be one that I can spend more time with them. I am trying to change finances and everything around to maintain a life that will allow that. I always thought I would be with my kids and able to do and lve for and with them. I sit her and find that I have been stuck in a job I cannot stand, terribly miserable. I have surrounded myself with people that don't care for me at all the way I care for them.
So...I finished cutting out people that don't care as being a staple, and am now working on the housing and finances. Living in a town I love and getting on with this thing called life. I don't want to die and have done nothing but live in a cubicle. I refuse to beg anyone to care, and I am striving to be just a peaceful person. I think that getting myself in a place that makes me happy will benefit my whole family.
Now, I am striving to be a free creature. An artist and live my life as a hippie...taking photos and living comfortable with myself. A book writing, dancing gypsy gal with a world of love and peace at my fingertips. For most of my life I have loved the writings of Anais nin. She truly brings sexuality and life into a perspective I run with. I figure, screw them all and I will be myself. A very sexual and thoughtful person that many find hard to understand and yet, it works for me. Anais and Henry and June...all have this crazed sensuality that cannot be beat. I want to live like that. Free and comfortable with myself. I think I have a great start.
.Here is a quote to start with:
" “Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.” Henry Miller

Great miller quote, sparky, especially this part, 'Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.'
