Motherhood and work

Since yesterday was Mothers Day I thought I'd write a few comments. All I ever wanted to be was a Mom. Never really had any career goals, but do like being artistic and self-employed. I do not think that my parents encouraged me at all to have a career. They probably just expected me to get married and have a family. I am glad that I had my kids young. It's almost ironic that I ended up being divorced and a single Mom, as marriage was not really high on my priorities either. I really enjoyed raising my kids and they have always been awesome from the moment they were born. Now that they are adults, it just keeps getting better! My daughter is a mother herself and such a great Mom too. She makes me Proud! My son is always having interesting adventures, I love it! I have always worked, sometimes not full time, but always managed to make ends meet somehow. I would say that I am not typical. I doubt if I will ever really retire as I don't have much money to retire on! I have always been pretty frugal, so I guess I'll just keep that going until the day I die! I wish I were a little more computer savvy so that I could figure out how to get more people to comment, or write about themselves on my blog.
