When I was younger, I'm pretty sure that I thought being an adult would be coffee in coffee shops, music, books, poetry, deep discussions and apparently, beatniks and Bob Dylan.
I imagined having a bunch of kids. Check. Having some dogs, check. Keeping an organized and beautiful home...uh-Having a great husband, check and that my kids would be sweet all the time-- still working on that one .
I envisioned myself devoted to my career with time to visit foreign places and go to cultural events. After four years of working, I was disillusioned with a job that didn't fulfill me anymore. I had always *planned* on having a family as well. But, it took me an extra ten years to become a mommy. I think your life turns out how it's supposed to. My life didn't follow the flight path I wanted but I've learned a lot along the way.
