My overriding goal my whole life has been to marry and raise children, and I didn't even have a baby until I was 30! And I still only have one child, and she's growing up so quickly, and it forces me to think of other things I want to do with my life to fill the time that's not taken up by the 20 kids I was supposed to be in the middle of having. It's not that I mind having time to pursue other interests. In fact, I'm happy I have my part-time job. But I have times when I'm so awestruck by the joy of being a mother and how perfect it feels for me that I mourn the scaling back of my dream. (Maybe it won't have to be scaled back too much, though. I still have time for a couple more kids, right? Someone just needs to notify my uterus.)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038597347405251733noreply@blogger.com
