1. When you were in high school, where did you see yourself today (career, family, location)? Is today anything like you imagined it?
I imagined myself as a physician. I thought I would have three girls and live in the DFW area. My life is nothing like I imagined it would be. I ended up not going to medical school...and I have 5 kids. I have no idea why I thought I would have 3 girls way back then. We live in the middle of the frozen tundra and climate-wise it couldn't be more different than Texas. Location is a part of my adult life I'm less happy with.
2. Where to you imagine yourself in 5 years? 10? How about 30 or 40 years from now? In 5 years, I imagine I will finally have my MS in Counseling Psych. Maybe I won't. Ugh. The anxiety of it all. I hope to have a small job at a community based organization like Catholic Charities or Lutheran Social Services. I don't know. That's best case scenario. Worst case scenario, I get the degree and don't work. I see that as a possibility now too. In ten years, I will either be working or will be sahm. Zoe will be graduating from High School in 10 years. 30 years from now I'll be in my *gulp* 70's. I plan on living in the cabin for 1/2 of the year and traveling with Thomas. I hope we're both healthy and able to enjoy traveling and taking care of grandkids. 40 years? I plan on living in the cabin with Thomas (God Willing) and enjoying spending time together. We'll be enjoying watching the grandkids move on to graduation.
3. Name two or three short term goals.
Get through my summer session and all of the papers and assignments
Lose weight (never gonna happen)
Survive the end of the school year madness and Amanda's graduation (this year my dad and stepmom will be attending ... as will my mom. Pass the drama.)
