Trip Down Memory Lane

Some girlfriends of mine (from IRL) posted these prompts on their Facebooks and were supposed to give whomever commented an age to fill in the prompts. I used age 20 as that was the age they all started with, I was given 26 as my age to write about, and then added my current age range.  Just some silliness for a Monday.

At age 20

I dated:  Steve
I drove:  Nothing. Got around by bus or walking.
I worked:  Part time at a medical non-profit, while going to university full time.
Feared:  Failure
Wanted to be:  A fundraiser.

At age 26

I dated:  My soon-to-be husband
I drove:  A 4-door Honda Civic…miss that car!
I worked:  Full time at a medical non-profit
Feared:  Failure
Wanted to be:  A fundraiser, which I was so all was good.

Now, in my late 30s

I date:  My wonderful man, and am happily divorced.
I drive:  A schmexy green station wagon.
I work:  Full time SAHM, Autism advocate, and am a blogger too.
I fear:  Someone hurting my kids, something happening to me so I can’t look after my children, letting my children down, not being able to support them in achieving whatever goals they have in life.
Want to be:  Happy

30 Days of Me: Day 28 – Something I miss

Day 28 – Something that you miss

Even though I love being with my kids full time (especially since I only stayed home for the first 3 months of the 1-year maternity leave we are blessed with in Canada because I didn’t have benefits), I miss working outside the home.  I miss having my own paycheque and the independence it gave me.

I also miss falling asleep beside someone, hearing their subtle sleep breathing/light snoring.  Thankfully, some nights I can hear my son’s sleep noises because our rooms are beside eachother.

What I don’t miss though, is the person I became in the last couple of years of my marriage.  Hope to never see her again.  Prefer who I am right now.

What do you miss?
