What did you want to be when you grew up? Or more likely how many dreams did you have. I wanted to be a veterinarian, a teacher, a ballerina, a ballet teacher, a singer, an actress and a Mom.
Only one of those dreams came true, but in my opinion it was the best of the bunch. Any of those dreams would have brought me joy, money and personal pride and satisfaction in a job well done. I believe that none of those would bring me the same joy that being a Mom has brought me. None of the day to day struggles and none of the immense pride I feel when I look at my kids and realize that I am doing a good job. A great job even.
It isn't easy, it never will be easy and my payoff won't come until my children are grown up and on their own and at that time I can look at my children and see what amazing children I raised and then see my dream has been fulfilled.
