I think I felt it all depended on who I met and where life took me. Not the educated, career girl thing to say.<BR/><BR/>More and more I am thinking I'd like to be a version of that woman you described in the post. Possibly working or volunteering at church and making a home. I'm bit a sick of the career stuff and have accomplished a lot of what I want to already anyway (to varying degrees). Maybe a I need new goals, but I can't help but think my priorities are going to change and that's ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11718240.post-75578168159904459732008-05-29T21:59:00.000-05:002008-05-29T21:59:00.000-05:00Came here by way of Susan's blog.

I don't know if my mom ever found her calling. I know she didn't seem to at peace about much. Anyway, I hit college thinking I was going to be the ulti career girl and go for a professorship. Wham I met a guy, and all my homeschool kid upbringing started kicking in majorly. I started thinking more about raising kids and less about grading freshman essays for the rest of my life. Grad school bombed, and here I sit trying to figure out how to be be a wife waiting to be mom because no one ever told me it was anything worth pursuing. You have your head on straight. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508555292235741118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11718240.post-527885983607696182008-05-29T07:50:00.000-05:002008-05-29T07:50:00.000-05:00My bad.
