When I Was Young

I guess you could say I was, and still am, a bit close minded as to my path in life. All I've ever wanted as long as I can remember was to be a wife and mother. For a few years I would have been willing to do without the husband part and used to day dream about someone leaving a baby on my doorstep - I daydreamed every imaginable scenario CONSTANTLY. Other girls doodled boys names. I went a step farther writing notes to my imaginary children's teachers excusing them for a myriad of different reasons or notes home from the teachers that I had to sign and of course I would sign my name with the boy of the minute's last name. Little did I know one of the papers sent home for me to sign would be a 'ticket' from my sons teacher saying he'd said a bad word at school. WHAT!?!?!?! The bad word you ask? Sexy. :) He didn't use it in a sentence or direct it to a person (though there is a girl in his class that wouldn't mind in the least if it were to her:) ) Apparently he just repeated it over and over.
