THEN
I always thought I wanted to be a career woman. I'd for sure live in the city ( New York, Chicago, San Francisco.) My days would be filled with interesting and exciting things. I'd meet new people, help them with their lives -- and return to my home with a very happy husband and MAYBE 1 child waiting -- clean, calm and sweet as ever.
NOW
Then I met my soul mate, the man of my dreams -- Philip - and my other dreams came crashing down.....he didn't cause them to crash by any means. He was just the doorway to another life -- a life I enjoy much more. I am grateful for my job I have now -- Mother of 3 beautiful and wonderful kids.
To make sure I post my first Tuesday Tell All correctly -- I need to list some previous jobs -- let me see if I can remember them all....

Love it all Meeg...I'm really sleepy and have to go to bed but wanted you to know I read your blog and just am so happy that you are doing this. I'm going to read it again tomorrow. I can't get my home email at work like I used to, hence I spend less time on the computer where you can see me. So happy you are working so hard at being a good mom...it shows! Love you and see you soon...mom
Glad you are alive Mom - I was beginning to wonder. NOW i know, cuz your computer at home is down. See how addicted I am to technology?? Hope you got my email -- LOVE YOU!

It sounds like you are doing really good, the kids are beautiful, you finally got a girl! I linked to your blog from mine so that i can keep an eye on you ;-) Luv ya! Katie
That's a great idea, I might have to steal that idea. I need to make my blog a little more interesting. Happy Tuesday!
I got your note on our TTA blog. We are happy to have you join us (I added you to the sidebar). Welcome!
p.s. What a great idea to take around Easter baskets on Easter Sunday. I might have to steal that one.
I think you do a great job with all your jobs. baby sitting Philip is the hardest probably. He's lucky he has you.

I can so relate to this blog. I too had big dreams of climbing the corporate ladder. But, when my kids came along I started realizing that there are so many more important things. I will go back when they are older, but for now I am going to enjoy where I am in my life. There is a time and a season for everything...
