Oh what i want to be...
Does anyone remember that song?
Oh what I want to be...
What I want to be...
When I grow up to be big me!
OK yeah...I'm a dork (it's from an old kidsongs video btw)
But it got me thinking
What do I want to be.
I want to be creative.
I love taking pictures...especially of my family.
My facebook page has literally HUNDREDS of pics of us (OK of penny mostly)
today penny was using her walker as a jungle gym. I snapped about 5 pics and uploaded them to her 8 month album (yes I have them all separated by age with the first 6 months condensed. I will do the same when she turns a year. and I swear not to post more than 1 time a month after she turns one!)
The thing is I have family who I never ever get to see on facebook and I looove that my grandparents (who i see MAYBE 1 time a year) get to see her "growing up".
But could I be a good photographer? probably not.
i can't draw or paint. I play the piano OK and my singing voice...well lets say I am average. I am not great but i wouldn't send Simon to psycho ward either.
I am slightly crafty but nothing special. I can make a badd azz tutu...but everyone I know can make those and if you type baby tutu into google a bazzilion sites come up selling the things.
I want to be a teacher.
That's what I want. That's why I got my degree.
But that is still about 4 years away. I knew I wanted to stay home when the baby was born.
and If we have another before she starts school (or after) I will want to stay home then as well.
So what do i want to be.
What makes me special?
I don't know.
But penny does.
And so does my husband.
And to me...that's all that matters.

Am I the only woman who feels this way???
I have a friend. He is a male friend. and he is a horndog.
5 years ago I thought his behavior was mildly amuzing but borderline annoying (seriously....who likes having a convrsation with someone that gets interupted every 5 minutes because a hot girl walks by)
Now...well lets just say the constant refrences to MILF's and other fun terms for women is wearing thin.
Don't get me wrong. I like...no no LOVE compliments.
But sometimes I wonder if I am alone in disliking the super charged sexual ones.
Yes I am a woman.
Yes I have curves.
but am I not also a person?
I mean...I'm not just some "real doll" sitting around waiting to be bought for someones pleasure alone.
So my dear readers (all 16 of you...because I know you are reading this rebecahhhhh!)
I pose this question.
Do you find it annoying when someone looks at the opposite sex as nothing more than a sexual object?
Or am I just a prude (rebecahhhh and laura because you know me in real life I know you are laughing your butts off at the thought of anyone considering me a prude...it's ok lol)

I am woman...hear me...puuuurrr...
I always considerd myself a femanist.
We are all equal.
When I was growing up I wanted to be an actress or a buisness woman.
I used to picture myself in buisness suits with sleek hair and great shoes making 100 thousand a year and living in a posh apartment in manhattan. I always wanted to be a mom. Always. But in my dreams I would send my 4 beautiful to a ritzy private school and have a maid to clean up my home.
I also had a really hot succesful husband and we would take great family vacations all over the world.
and all of this would be accomplished by the time I was 30.
I am 27.
Do I have a job making 100 thousand a year? no
Do I own even one buisness suit? nope
Do I have any of those things? yes!
I have a sexy husband who I love more than life.
I love my home.
I love my family.
And I am a stay at home mom.
I have a friend who sniffs and sticks her nose up at that.
Yes I stay home cook clean and take care of our child.
but it was my choice.
And that to me is the mark of true femanism.
I am not staying home because I have to...I am doing it because I want to.
