When I grow up...

Having recently moved, I now live closer to Annette and yesterday took advantage of it to spend some time with her (which I discovered I missed). It was good to sit together and smile at babies (little and not so little anymore), watch a good movie, and fold clothes (it's never ending for some I hear- I'm not looking forward to never ending- I am just fine with mine once a week). We also went to Mimi's for a very yummy lunch after picking up Jer from school. It was a good thing that it wasn't very crowded because we ended up with screaming, tired babies (the chocolate milk drinker wearing a new fashion statement- striped brown and white shorts!) I had fun. What I wanted to share was what I learned about the other kids still at school. I think it can be very telling to hear what kids want to be when they grow up and also how that changes as they do or don't. Alec wants to be a doctor, Taylor wants to write novels, Seena wants to be a nurse/mom like her mother, and Roman wants to own a car wash (you know, like the kind in that shark movie- I've actually never seen it). I think there was also something about heavy machinery for Roman, but I don't remember that. Have your children shared with you what they want to be when they grow up? Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? (that is of course if the aforementioned has occurred)

  1. I don't remember. I think I wanted to be a fairy princess. Then I decided to be a vet and then learned that I didn't have the emotional stability to give animals shots. Look at me now, I give all the shots and take cake of other gross animal things. -Julie
