Crazy Hip Blog Mamas #42
Collab #42:
We all had them, those dreams of what we'd be "one day" when we grew up. Who we'd marry, what kind of wedding we'd have, how many children we'd bring into the fold (what we'd name them), etc.
We want to hear your childhood dreams. Maybe one from when you were five or fifteen.
Give them to us!
Hrm, my childhood dreams?
Yikes!
Well like most girls, I wanted to get married when I grew up, but I wanted to marry a rockstar, I wanted to be a rockstar myself. *laughs*
Then that changed, and I wanted to be a radio dj. Now most radio sucks ass, they play the same damn playlist of 30-40 songs on shuffle, every single day, and most of the programming is well, programmed.
It's mostly done by computers now except for some morning shows, and the occasional locally run stations that have actual dj shifts.
But they still run playlists bought by record companies.
*Boo hiss suck*
Then, I never really figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
I had my heart set on doing radio and when that dropped, I was left with a big empty space of no plan.
I did go and take some college courses in business, English lit, and some other stuff, and then dropped it to get married.
I did go back to school off and on to finish a few classes, but never got my degree.
Then I became a mom full time, and took whatever jobs I could get to pay the bills.
Dreams - 0
Real life - 1million

Another full-time mom here (visiting via CHBM)... I'm still figuring out what I want to do when I 'grow up'. But you're right, real life is where it's at.

Is it too late to be a rockstar? I think THAT's what I'd like to do with the rest of my life.

Paying the bills is important. And while we may not dream about that - it enables our children to dream big - ger.

well mommy, ever day is a day to reinvent yourself. why not buy a cheap wig (or make one) and come to breakfast dressed like a rockstar one morning? your child/children and/or hubby might get a real kick outta that one. LOL

Haha, I always wanted to marry a rockstar, too. I am still convinced that I can if I ever get to meet him! LOL. Isn't that silly?
