I've given up my childhood dreams but don't regret it. I never would've been an astronaut anyway, I'm afraid of heights. I gave up on being a writer years ago. But now I'm doing a little and getting a few bucks for it. I wanted 6 kids but ended up with two of the best boys anyone could wish for. I've given up all my childhood dreams, one by one, throughout my 53 years. It seems that they eventually come true in ways I never would have thought. So I have very few regrets in my life.

I had a passion to become an air hostess. But I cant regret for not acheiving it because, I dont have the necessary height to get into that profession. But I am training a few of them to become one. I am happy by that way.

I gave up on every dream that I had as a child to become a mother, which most of the time I have absolutely no regrets about. i love being a stay at home mother, although there are some days that i would love to have a get away just for a little while. it is very time consuming, but also very wonderful being able to stay at home with my children. i think it's very important to be here when they get home from school and of course it's important for me to be teaching my two year old what she needs to learn instead of having someone else raising her and teaching her things she should be learning at home. i love it, i really do. i do sometimes wonder what it would have been like had i kept modeling or started my singing career, but being home is such a more wonderful job for me and i really feel that that is what i was born to do. to raise my children and to be a good and loving wife to my husband. God bless

A childhood aspiration was born after watching `The sound of music` starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer when I was young. From that day on ..my head was going to be shaved..my wimple was on order...and the only guy I was marrying was hinself..no less.!!!!! A good few years later..too many too mention..I married..had 3 children...alas..I never took my vows!!!!!...ahhhhhhh
