Looking ahead.

Today in my Portfolio Development class, we were asked to write our short term career goal (shortly after graduation) and our long term career goal (in five years). I must admit, it's very difficult for me to not self-censor and get right down to what I'm trying to say. I always seem to attempt to make myself either better in the eyes of some, or less. And I'm not really sure why that is. However, the point of all of this is that when I started to write my five year career goal, I couldn't get over the fact of how excited I am to become a mother. To become the woman who may stay home on week days and do laundry and cook amazing chicken casseroles or what have you. Some might be thinking how completely 18th century. Well, be that 18th century as it may, I'm ready to welcome motherhood and all of its components with open arms.

[Edit] Not right this second. [/Edit]

  1. I'm totally in the same boat. I'm finishing my degree next year, but after that I'm probably not doing my teaching anymore. I know that God has called me to be a mom and I'm so excited for that! Being a homemaker and a Mom is very honourable and a lot of work. I admire those Moms. I'll also be doing my business on the side though, which I can do at home and on my own time. Funny how we both kind of blogged about the same thing right now...

  2. Yeah that is kind of funny. Why aren't you going to pursue being a teacher though? You've been wanting to do that since I've known you. But it makes sense that you would want to be a mum - I just think it's a completely valid and inevitable feeling for women to get at our ages. I can't read your blog for some reason though, do you have to invite me to read it?
