daydreams. every kid has them. what were yours? mine was that i would meet my knight in white armor and he would whisk me away to some magical land where we would live happily ever after.
if you're reading this blog then you know that happily ever after is an elusive thing isn't it?!?
last night i went to get my dark roots blonder. a must before the holidays. lol!
my friend who does my hair had to bring her nine year old with her last night. i love CJ. she's a very entertaining girl. she always makes me laugh.
when CJ got there she told me how she had her first car all picked out. don't forget she's only NINE! : ) she wants a 2010 escalade. black exterior, black leather interior (good leather) and she wants her name embroidered on the head rest in purple. glad she's not picky. ha ha!
then she starts telling her mom and me that she's going to vander.bilt to be a doctor. she wants a big house, not a mansion, and even had the landscape picked out! her mom and i were cracking up.
then she says she wants six kids. twins to start out with and then one at a time after that. she has their names picked out and everything.
that got me to thinking about when i was her age and what my daydreams were about. they were similar, but i wasn't that specific. i wanted a big wedding with a white dress and a long train like princess.diana. my prince charming and i would have two kids. a boy and then a girl. the boy could be the oldest so he could protect his little sister.
obviously not all of my childhood dreams have come true. i found my prince charming, but we are still waiting on our dreams of having children. i do feel good that we are starting to pursue those dreams again. i'm looking forward to the day when that dream is a reality.
what childhood dreams do you still chase?

What a beautiful post and such a lovely painting. This brought tears to my eyes.
It's funny how life turns out so much differently than we imagine it will, isn't it?
I guess I am still chasing my dream of becoming a writer.
Great post---very tender...
I am so looking forward to seeing more of your dreams come true :)
One Im still chasing--being in another theater production.
It's funny, this is something that has been on my mind a lot lately as well. It's true there are a lot of dreams that change as you get older. As for dreams that I'm still chasing? That's something that I'm still trying to figure out. Most of the ones I had thought of haven't worked out, so maybe it's time to create a whole new set of dreams. Thanks for posting this!
Love this post...makes me really think about my childhood.
Ahhh, the innocence of childhood...when you can just dream and dream. Then when you get older, reality hits you like a ton of bricks!
I love this post - so eloquent and poignant.
A childhood dream I'm still chasing - much like yours it's one of being a Mom. Ever since I can remember I've wanted to be a mommy.
Hopefully it's not just a pipe dream.

Did you ever see the Anne of Green Gables movies? I loved that character. She reminded me of myself. Always dreaming & being oh-so-dramatic.
I always dreamed in details...I wanted a house with a wrap-around porch, a front-porch swing, and big back yard, kids, a prince charming...
I'm still looking for that house (and the money to pay for it, ha!). Yes, I have one kid, but my dream was for more. So I'm still chasing it. I have my prince, even though he's a frog sometimes:-)...
& the main dream I still chase, & will continue to do so til the day I die, is to record a CD & be a recording artist.
I hope all of your dreams come true. Because you deserve them so very much.
I had the same dream, except I didn't want a long train because I knew I'd probably trip on it. :)
Boy first and then a girl for the same reasons. Maybe I was pregnant with a boy first and then C came along and became first. I never wonder too long about it though because if it was a boy then C wouldn't be here and I just can't imagine that.
It's OK to change your dreams just as long as you have some.
I hope your dreams continue to come true. :)
Popped over from the crème de la crème list.
Not long after I first met my now husband (first year of college), I daydreamed of an 'oops' PG.
In reality we made very well sure that couldn't happen. Years later, turns out we needn't have bothered.
Beautiful post!
I wanted the white dress, and got it. On rush order, since we impulsively decided after being engaged for months to get married in 10 days, but I got it. :) I wanted my grandpa to walk me down the aisle, but we had no aisle. It was okay, he was there. I'm still working on the 4 (well, more like probably 1 or 2!) children, though.
