It’s amazing when…
you sit back and realize that some of your dreams/thoughts as a younger person (teenager) are coming true. I really had not put much thought into until today. As a teenage I remember telling myself over and over. I am going to have 4 kids-3 boys and a girl. The girl is going to be either #3 or #4. And there will be twins. There is no twins in my family but I am going to have them. Well here we are today with 3 kids all boys and a set of twins in there. I am still longing for #4 and who knows maybe in 3-4 years I can convince Brad to try ONE LAST TIME and he’ll get his girl…right? For my job/career I was always going to be a paramedic. I didn’t care what it was going to take to get me there, that’s what I’m going to do. While going through different stages in my life, I lost track of that dream. And now look at me. A level 1 paramedic (EMTechnician) just accepted a full-time position and looking into upgrading my skills to make more money. Then the last thing, I always saw myself as the money-maker in the family. And had always said that when the time came to raise a family, as long as I was in my dream profession BF could stay home and be a SAHD if he chose and I would be happy. Well BF has been trying to work. Disabilities-both mental and physical-have gotten in his way sometimes, but he is trying. Today he called after day 1 of his new job. He likes it overal, but his knees might not be able to take it, and he’s not sure he could handle working for this boss. He’s going to give it a three-week trail and we’ll go from there. My thought process - if it doesn’t work, we’ll pull the kids from daycare and he can stay at home with them. So maybe - even though we don’t notice - we do have an insight on our life while we are teenagers. Although my dreams are not complete (but then again, they never should be, you always keep adding cause if you reach for the moon you just might land on the stars), they’re close..and I’M HAPPY. Wow those messed up teenage years are good for something….lol
