When I Grow Up

The May 29, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
List all of the things you wanted to be when you grew up.

A long time ago in a state faraway, I wanted to be married with children, but that's what almost every girl I knew wanted to be. Oh, some of them wanted to be nurses until they got married; however, after they found a man and got married they planned to quit their jobs and raise a family. For most of the girls I went to school with the a family was a father, a mother, and 2.5 children. I knew better because my family consisted of Mom, four children, and sometimes my Grandparents; that didn't change my idea of "What I want to be when I grow up" because I wanted the husband, the 2.5 children, and staying home taking care of them.

That isn't what I got and at 66 I'm glad because I'm not sure what I would have done with the .5 child. All right, so I'm attempting to be humorous, I'm revealing my weird and getting weirder sense of humor. Today I'm happy that I never got the dream of married with children especially after watching the sitcom of the same name because I don't think I could have put up with the husband or the children. I could have gotten along with the dog because I get along with most dogs and cats.

What I wanted to be
when I grew up
isn't what God wanted me to be.

Today I do my best to obey God's will,
sometimes I have difficulty
because I'm a human being with free will
and I'm stubborn boarding on bullheaded
so sometimes obedience is difficult,
but I'm working on that.
