When I Grow Up
The May 29, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt ForumOpen in new Window. is
List all of the things you wanted to be when you grew up.

A long time ago in a state faraway, I wanted to be married with children, but that's what almost every girl I knew wanted to be. Oh, some of them wanted to be nurses until they got married; however, after they found a man and got married they planned to quit their jobs and raise a family. For most of the girls I went to school with the a family was a father, a mother, and 2.5 children. I knew better because my family consisted of Mom, four children, and sometimes my Grandparents; that didn't change my idea of "What I want to be when I grow up" because I wanted the husband, the 2.5 children, and staying home taking care of them.

That isn't what I got and at 66 I'm glad because I'm not sure what I would have done with the .5 child. All right, so I'm attempting to be humorous, I'm revealing my weird and getting weirder sense of humor. Today I'm happy that I never got the dream of married with children especially after watching the sitcom of the same name because I don't think I could have put up with the husband or the children. I could have gotten along with the dog because I get along with most dogs and cats.

What I wanted to be
when I grew up
isn't what God wanted me to be.

Today I do my best to obey God's will,
sometimes I have difficulty
because I'm a human being with free will
and I'm stubborn boarding on bullheaded
so sometimes obedience is difficult,
but I'm working on that.

Thought of the Day: “Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.” - Maya Angelou
