My JC classmate who’s here with me recently recalled that in GP class I told the whole class that my ambition was to be a mother. I don’t remember that, and I thought it was silly she’d probably just made that up to make fun of me. A mother as an ambition, really?

I spent a few days with three families with six young children. Small kids are cute, when they are not crying and screaming and running around and jumping and throwing things at each other and crying and crying and crying.. It’s not easy to be parents. Seriously. It’s not just about giving birth to a soul, your job doesn’t stop there. I can’t imagine how tortured my mom was in raising up five girls with little age gaps. And I think she’s done a pretty awesomely decent job ;)

I guess that ambition doesn’t sound so silly anymore.
