Re: What did you want to be when you "grew up"??

I wanted to be a wife, a mom, and a teacher.

One for three isnt bad?

Now I want to be a dispatcher and an architect and a personal trainer for single moms as a "mission field" ( I get so mad at all the size twos running aroudn complaining about needing to lose 10 pounds, adn the trainers that take their money and say nothing... ), OH and a recognized quilter... and an author... and....

You are an artist Mog! So your dream came true?

Re: What did you want to be when you "grew up"??

No, I wanted to be able to make a living at being an artist and be famous like Picasso! I did make a little money at it for a while, but not enough to live off of. And I'm still not famous! LOL

I just decided that I wasn't ever going to grow up, so I wouldn't have to make up my mind. Sometimes, I think that I didn't....

Actualy, like LC_Dave, I wanted to be an astronaut. I grew up with the Gemini and Mercury programs, Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong were bigger than life to me.

When I was about five, I had dreams of being the person on the back of a garbage truck that would throw the garbage into the track and then mash it up. That dream changed when I was and decided a mailman was my goal. It was winter and I watched the mailman get stuck in some snow and hop out of his vehicle and start swearing. I had never heard swearing by an adult and thought it would be great to be a swearing mailman.

I am a late bloomer when it comes to careers. I have recently decided to go into nursing and now I am waiting for my application to be accepted so I can register for classes. I now know what I want to be when I grow up.

Grade school dreams: Astronaut, the President, a ventriloquist.... (seriously, I still have the dummy).

My dad told me I would be the first female President and I did not want that, but I was gonna make my dad happy. But I secretly wanted to be an astronaut!

Re: What did you want to be when you "grew up"??

I wanted to be a Mommie... I did that 5 times over... I never wanted anything else. Now I would like to add that I also want financial "freedom" meaning I can proffesionally shop for me all day everyday... don't see that happening anytime soon? Anyone heard of Dave Ramsey??? My DH is WONDERFUL, wouldn't trade him for the world.... but because of Dave Ramsey we don't believe in debt... Too bad my addiction for shopping is just as bad as chocolate!!! Thanks to "Dave" (my DH for the true work" and "Atkins" (me) I will have a better life and be just what I always dreamed I would be... here's to hoping for 25 grandkids!!!
