First dream job – nurse. I aimed high, no?

I’m now a medical writer, which is interesting and pays well. Not a great conversation-starter, so I have fascinating hobbies.

Sometimes wanted to be an artist.
I’d try being a comedian if i didn’t have debilitating stage fright.
Romanticized the secretary role as being 2nd in command… the one that really knew it all and kept the business afloat… I want to do what Mom does. Whoo hoo. Dreams come true. I type in a cubicle.
I hope I don’t stifle my ‘secrets’ with my boring existence.

When I was a young miss, I desperately wanted to live in Montana and study wolves. Still do..I am a stay at home mother to three little boys in Northern Illinois..so close yet so far away.

Our son consistently says he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. He loves to build stuff and spends hours and hours with his legos and connex and tinker toys, and more hours drawing the most intricate schematics, etc.
I just gave him my older digital camera and he’s gone nuts with it like a little ninja papparazzi. Says he wants to be a photographer on the weekends.
and just to throw some more things in the mix, he wants to have a restaurant, have a web’show’ to sell stuff, build a city with great hotels and waterparks…

What kind of day was it that made me decide that I couldn’t do what I really wanted to do? Was it one day? Was is day on top of day? one person? my parents never really shit on me being creative. what happend, I wonder? – look at me going all introspective. I just I hope I’m not the one who gives my kid that day cause its fun watching him now.
