I used to want to to be an influential person (famous in my own way, although not out of a small, nerdy circle!), until I realized that I don't want to give up on the things I like in life, like downtime, free evenings, and having fun with friends. <br /><br />Good for you. Making that realization will let you live a little freer. =Dhannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664942400486395078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-86527579523121188022010-09-24T12:56:09.276-04:002010-09-24T12:56:09.276-04:00Liz- thank you you are very kind.

I hope I can do that for the boys.<br /><br />Connie- yes motherhood is an extraordinary thing. I think real life usually turns out better than dreams. It is fabulous.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988224004955953763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-28001710707596445142010-09-24T06:03:50.028-04:002010-09-24T06:03:50.028-04:00You are famous - people all over the world listen ...You are famous - people all over the world listen to you and can't wait for what comes next, and you are extraordinary... you're a mom! Talk about being a superhero!! :) I know what you are saying though. Dreams are nice - sure would be boring without them - but the important thing is to recognize how blessed you are with real life.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-52168135289132645522010-09-23T13:37:49.253-04:002010-09-23T13:37:49.253-04:00Emily, you are far from ordinary.

Just because you are not going be the First Lady, or someone who the whole world knows, does not mean that you are not going to raise a child that will affect the whole world. I realized about 2 1/2 years ago when Eli was born that alot of the dreams and amibitions that I had for myself were not going to happen, so instead I try to put my effort into making Elijah and Emme's dreams and ambitions come true.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118126360358789282noreply@blogger.com
