When I grow up I want to be........

When I grow up, I always thought I wanted to be a mom, a housewife, etc. Although the desire at almost 42 is pretty much gone to have human babies, I love being a "mom" to my 3 kits. As far as being a housewife, I would love nothing more, but unfortunately wiht today's prices, I have to work. I love being a homemaker, cleaning my house, *I know, Im weird*, taking care of Jerry, cooking,etc. I've never had any big career ambitions.........

What about you guys?

I love doing my housework as well Susie so don't worry your not alone!. I could be worth millions but i'd still do my own cleaning because then i know it's done to how i like it!.

When i was younger i remember saying i wanted to be a judge but then it went on to being a mortician.

Wish i could turn back the clock because i would do it then!

Really?

I always wanted to be a hairdresser or a vet. Then when I left college I landed my first job in a solicitors and it went on from there.... Now I am a PA and only doing this because it pays well and I sometimes enjoy it! Actually, I still don't know what I really want to do.

ps. I like cleaning too!

Someones got to do it

But you don't do it now do you? Or do you?

I am the same way. I love doing the housework and prefer to do it on my own. My fiance used to be good about asking if I needed any help but I always turned him down. I almost feel like I would just have to do it over to make sure it is done the way I like it.

I am going to school for nursing right now. My dream is to become a pediatrician. I am just beginning to feel that is unrealistic at this point. I begin volunteering in the neonatal ward of the hospital here in 2 weeks, I think for now I will be happy with that

Gilly i would love to!. My friend Mark who is an undertaker told me their screaming out for females, but theres a lot of work involved because they have to learn all about the organs etc...

It's a 3 year course, but Mark said it's very draining

I used to want to be an undertaker!!! Now an animal care assistant. Hi Gilly!!

I wanted to be a high powered career woman with my own clothing line and boutique. I actually used to design clothes and had a name for my shop and everything when I was in my early teens.

I've never wanted children and still don't... and really shouldn't based on medical reasons. I've just NEVER had that maternal instinct.

Well, so much for the creativity! I am a career woman with a prestigious firm though... which fullfilled half the dream.

What a fab idea.. ideal.. can we do cat and animal burials as well?

Do you want to see my eyes puffed up every morning at work

My dream was always to be a ballroom dancer

This is a good site to learn about some of the different type of dances:

I don't really enjoy housework very much- but I try to keep the cat hair picked up which is a never ending task!!!
Well as I have 76 days left of my job of 19 plus yrs I guess I'll be going in a new direction!!
My ideal as I envision it right now:
wake up in am, make hubby breakfast, do some picking up around house. Do exercise.
If in gardening season spend some time doing that. Watch Oprah at 4:00 do more cooking. Also squeeze some sewing/craft time/volunteer time in. Work somewhere enjoyable part time (no more than 25 hrs/week)

Yes I suppose that would be too much susan... I was thinkin tho more for the dignity of a proper burial.. I depise people who just flush pet fish down the toilet because it's 'just a fish'.

Ok, i'll just wear sunglasses every day!

Met too
