One of a child's often asked question is "What do you want to be when you grow up?" From the moment I can remember I did not want to be a ballerina, race car driver, teacher or nurse. I wanted to be a wife and a mom, a great wife and even greater mom. I don't know if I accomplished being the great wife. I was married for fifteen years, but ultimately divorce won out. However, I do believe I am still working on the great mom. I had wonderful kids who made it easy for me.
All of my life I will have a goal to be a great mom. One day I will be a great grandma. My kids know that no matter what they can come to me for anything at anytime. I don't know if I will always have the answers or the immediate help they might need. I do know that I will do my best and at the very least offer support and help as much as and as best as I can.
I should have been born ages ago when women stayed home and cooked and cleaned and raised the children. My goals in life are simple. I realize that being single I have to work. This is a no brainer, common sense thing. But I am an old soul somewhat in many ways. I am at my best when I'm functioning as mom or in some kind of relationship manner where I am expressing my love and providing care of some kind or another.
