Today’s guest posts at: Finn’s (When I Grow Up…) and Modern Mami (Raising Boys and Girls)
Since my answer is “retire young”, everything I’m doing is going towards that goal and has been since I was 10.
For two and a half years it has been, “When I recover from the car accident I will be able to ….” Now I’m realizing there will be no full recovery and I’ve lost a lot of time. I’m now making real plans for 2009. A mother/daughter trip to NY for shopping. Hawaii next summer. They may seem like small goals – but when my whole life has been pain, surgeries, and recovery … these small steps are now major accomplishments. I’m excited to finally be moving forward even if it is in very small steps!
Today? get to bed soon!
Tomorrow? work on my new project
When you grow up? i am grown up.
When the kids move out? travel with hubs.
When you get married or divorced? i don’t plan on either.
What do you want to do with your life? i’m doing it.
When are you planning to do it? see the last question!
I’d like to answer this seriously, but I’m really craving a great BLT sandwich right now. So that’s all I got!
Today? Get to bed so I’m not tempted to sleep through Math again
Tomorrow? Start my research paper (zoink only two weeks left to get it done!) and do some college surfing.
When you grow up? Maybe teach? Work in a lab? Go to Med School? I really don’t have this one answered yet.
When the kids move out? I have kids? I think I have been forgetting to feed them. Oops.
When you get married or divorced? Enjoy the other person (or lack thereof if it’s a divorce)
What do you want to do with your life? Relish the small moments
When are you planning to do it? Right now. Or when I don’t have a test to study for. (right now sounded better though)
Ugh… introspection. Can’t. Look.
Today? Try and get some sleep….would have to quiet the racing thoughts of my mind first….
Tomorrow? Not sure yet, but I know I want exercise and clean eating to be involved…
When you grow up? Treat myself better. That’s a start….
When the kids move out? I have kids?
When you get married or divorced? Hopefully I meet someone so awesome that I wouldn’t want to divorce them, and that we are both mature enough to work on keeping a strong marriage.
What do you want to do with your life? Every time I think I know, I find out that I don’t. Crazy, huh?
When are you planning to do it? Is now a good time?
Finish my degree, work as a nurse practitioner, eventually in some clinic in an impoverished area.
*huge grin*
Cuz I’m working towards it now finally!!!!
I’ve heard so many people say I know I’d be the greatest ____________ if I only knew what it was.
Hopefully, they find out.

you might be surprised to know that i don’t have goals. i’ve always been all about go with the flow. the only thing i have planned is to get up, try to stay employed so that i can pay the mortgage and to keep loving my dogs. for the most part, i am pretty easy to please.
Today? Survive work without actually throat punching my boss.
Tomorrow? see today.
When you grow up? I could say I’m already grown up, but honestly? I will probably never grow up. I get action figures for Christmas.
When the kids move out? Get an actual den/man cave/tv room.
When you get married or divorced? I don’t plan on getting divorced, and since I have no intentions of converting to Mormonism, polygamy is out, and therefore so is marriage.
What do you want to do with your life? play music
When are you planning to do it? when I retire
Cue the guitars…
In my best Dee Snider impersonation:
“I wanna rock!” (I hope you remember Twisted Sister… although I may be showing my age!)
Short term: I want to write a book.
Long term: I want to open a bookstore.
Live it.
Grow up? You mean we have to grow up?
Today? I’m going to work at a new job that I love.
Tomorrow? I get to do it again!
Grow Up? I’m already grown up. Someday I want to be a grandmother.
When the kids move out? They already did. Now I can volunteer to help community groups.
Married? For 29 years. I want it to last until death do us part.
Life? Live a stress-free life.
When? I’m already trying to live it every day.
Finish. Writing. A. Fucking. Book.
Just one…
I may need to high jack this because to put it all in this little comment box would take up far too much space.
But today, my goal is to make it through the day. Baby steps.
I’ve only gotten about as far as today in the planning stages…which includes getting not one but TWO oil changes…and surviving the day
Today? Make it through.
Tomorrow? Laugh.
When you grow up? Yeah, like that will EVER happen.
When the kids move out? Kid. And then I will move to my “retirement” home. On a lake with lots of room. And also travel.
When you get married or divorced? Already been there done that. I am just happy for my partner.
What do you want to do with your life? Enjoy more and love and laugh more.
When are you planning to do it? Everyday.
What about you?
I generally don’t think about this stuff to, but I am going to try…
Today? Enjoy it.
Tomorrow? Ace my interview.
When you grow up? I am hoping to avoid this part, to some extent.
When the kids move out? No idea.
When you get married or divorced? Already married – the divorced part… If I got divorced, I assume I’d keep on, keepin’ on -minus baggage?
What do you want to do with your life? Make a real difference – probably to children, somehow…
When are you planning to do it? I do already, in my small way…
I’m doing it. Every moment of each day. And I mean this literally. Each moment to me is a precious lifetime. My dad died very young and very suddenly. That became my mantra for living each moment. Right now, typing this to you, is exactly what I want to be doing… and relishing the fact that I can. And in this moment, I see the baby blue of the sky out my window. The whispy ribbon of clouds. I hear Janie’s doggies breathing. I smell my spaghetti sauce. My fingers glide over the keys. I think of you in NYC and I smile. Because this moment also contains all of those memories. AND I think of the calendar that I had a peek at last night… and it is HOT. I feel that right now, too.
Next moment? Line ‘er up.
Today? Get some sleep
Tomorrow? Get a job
When you grow up? Oh I have a long list for that
When the kids move out? don’t have any yet.
When you get married or divorced? Who knows.
What do you want to do with your life? I want to continue to work towards my designations, man I really need to get a job!!!!
When are you planning to do it? Soon I hope.
Today? Try and work out what the hell I am supposed to be doing.
Tomorrow? Pack!!!! Coz I’m flying out to spend 3 whole days with my family!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!
When you grow up? Don’t plan to..but really want to be a racing car driver.
When the kids move out? don’t plan to have any…some women just shouldn’t.
When you get married or divorced? Don’t plan on doing either of these.
What do you want to do with your life? When I know this, I’ll tell you but I know I want to enjoy it and do anything and everything.
When are you planning to do it? Everyday.
I think you better ask me again tomorrow because today I want to stop being hassled about the fact that I used to be married. Fucking creditors don’t have to honor divorce decrees, and therefore have to hassle me that I don’t have my ex-husband on my NY car insurance. (Lots of swears.) At least I get to say “I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO” in my head at my ex.
I might have a PMS-induced rage problem today. Maybe. A little.
Right now my plans are to get an internship somewhere in the summer and then graduate and then graduate school somewhere and then be a victim’s advocate.
Oh, as if the voice in my head wasn’t annoying enough, now *you’re* chiming in?!! Love you, Britt, I really do.
Head hurts. Don’t make me think, please …
*laughing at Nat’s comment. I taught my son how to play that on the guitar today. I am the one showing my age!*
I know what I have to do, what I want to be. More than anything I don’t want to look back in ten years and be disappointed in myself. This post is a much needed wake up call!
Today? I want to work and clean my house
Tomorrow? watch my favorite shows
When you grow up? I want to buy a house
When the kids move out? I want to take a tour of the U.K
When you get married or divorced? umm….I already am, and do NOT want to get divorced
What do you want to do with your life? I want to live it to the best I can. Surround myself with friends family and love.
When are you planning to do it? I try and do it everyday.
I agree with Fireheart – I try to do what I’m planning to do with my life everyday – ’cause when you got three little ones, there’s barely time or energy for planning much of anything…just living in the moment and realizing my life is. Right. NOW.
Thanks for the thinking…
I don’t want to think about this shit right now.
Today? Take deep, cleansing breaths until I can get home and truly relax.
Tomorrow? Focus on the tasks I need to do to help us make it through the crisis.
When you grow up? I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid.
When the kids move out? Travel, travel, travel.
When you get married or divorced? Grow old with somebody I can trust and watch the sun set.
What do you want to do with your life? I want to touch people’s lives for the better, raise my little girl to be a loving & healthy person, and leave this world a better place than when I came into it.
When are you planning to do it? Now.
I want to find a job that satisfies me while paying me enough to live comfortably. Yeah. I know. Good luck with it.
I gotta go with Dee on this – I wanna rock!
(have you played Singstar? It’s the “Guitar Hero” for voice and Twisted Sister’s on there, video and all. It’s awesome)
On a more serious note, and it is related, I want to write and play music, and invent things related to that. When I’m independently wealthy, that’s what I plan to do. I want to invent the next Animusic or Guitar Hero or something having to do with music and mass participation.
