I have really gotten out of the habit of blogging a few times a week lately and have fallen more into the once a month. I want to change that and go back to blogging more often. So I am going to try to do the June NaBloPoMo to get me going again. The theme for June is Now and they are also giving daily prompts. That can be a big help if I get stuck. This month will be sprinkled with some of the prompts and some of my own stuff.
I'll start with a prompt though: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Hmmm....I can remember wanting to be a teacher. I played school a lot. I remember the girl down the street, Kelly, who had a blackboard and everything in her playroom and we would trade off being the student and the teacher.
I can also remember wanting to be a mom. But that is probably most girls dreams.
And a funny one I remember wanting to be was a private investigator. It was the time of Remington Steele (who, btw, I was going to marry) and Moonlighting.
One thing I didn't want to be was a nurse. My mum is a nurse and I heard too many horror stories. Not just about patients, but the doctors and the industry in general.
The funny part about that last one is when I worked in the orthodontist office, I really really loved it. I loved the patients and the constant change but yet the same.
I have considered taking classes to be a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) but as much as I love the elderly and would love talking with them and helping them, changing adult diapers and bathing them does not appeal to me in the least.
So for now I will work in an office until I can find a way to get where I want to be. I recently figured that out, just have to see how it plays out in the future.
So, when you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I always wanted to be a marine biologist. I loved dolphins, whales, and sharks. I watched every show about marine life and read every book in the school library. As I got a little older I decided I wanted to be a psychologist and even started college with that as my major. Now, I just don't know anymore. I love being a mom more than anything, but they grow up before we know it. As much as I love Law, some soul searching this last year has shown me that I want to do something that really helps people in some capacity. I guess it's going to take some more thinking! Nice post!
I LOVED Remington Steel.
I remember it was grade3 when were asked that question and I couldn't think of anything so I said 'a mom' and I think the teacher was disappointed. (I didn't want to say teacher or nurse like everyone else)
I wanted to be a wife and mom. Kind of got there through a round about way. I never thought that I would be the mom of a special needs child, or that I would have my heart so broken by the first person who I thought loved me. Now I have an almost 28 year old daughter out there that doesn't know me, and most likely never will. I came to terms with that. But my life has definitely not been what I thought that it would be.
Glad that you are back to blogging!
Hmmmm, I don't know about when I was "little" but currently I'm thinking that when I grow up, I want to be either a 1)photographer 2)a yarn shop owner or 3)work with animals.
Because you know, I haven't quite grown up yet. :o)
When I was very young, I believed wholeheartedly that I would someday be Miss America.
Then, I wanted to be a teacher.
I didn't choose nursing - the college advisor told me it was the fastest way to make good money in the least amount of time. So, I signed up. Now, I cannot imagine doing anything else.
And I never, ever had that maternal longing to be a mom. I am happy I have children now, but it was never something I felt destined to become. Weird, I know.
I always new I wanted to be a programmer. Just didn't know there'd be a whole corporate culture to go with it.
And as far back as I can remember, I never wanted to be a mom.
As a child I wanted to be a lawyer. Can you imagine that? Me a lawyer? Ha!
Now I would lOVE to be an oncology nurse. Maybe when I retire in 11 years from teaching?
