My you...Great dreams Kin! :-) Thanks for sharing. My youngest was 6 months old when I turned 30. Not that I had a lot of choice since we had a bit of trouble with 2 of our conceptions (and a miscarriage).<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you're well on track to reach your dreams though - that would be a great feeling.lighteninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469704721683347931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-81512117218413129282007-08-22T12:13:00.000+09:302007-08-22T12:13:00.000+09:30Hmmm, my dreams:* To be finished having kids by th...Hmmm, my dreams:<BR/><BR/>* To be finished having kids by the time I'm 30 (I'll be 27 when #3 and last is born)<BR/><BR/>* To study law (in progress)<BR/><BR/>* To work in either a big law firm, for the courts or for government in drafting/reviewing legislation<BR/><BR/>* To own a smallish property<BR/><BR/>* For my kids to have choices in their lives<BR/><BR/>I think that's about it. I'm conent as far as dreams go because I know I'm working towards them now. It was a large part of my unhappiness during my early childraising years that I was doing nothing to get where I wanted to be, leading me to possibly worse decisions like working full-time with two kids in daycare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
