Doing my bosses job from home, as I am on maternity leave with my third and final child.

Working my *kitten* off between carting kids around, working out, and climbing the corporate latter.

    I seriously have no idea....

    My wish list-

    I would love to be re- married and the mother to a by then 6ish month old baby.

    I would have sold my house in this lovely sub-division and moved to the trees where my closest neighbor is a few acres away.

    I will be a paramedic.

    I will be diving around an 11 year old, 8 year old and new born to sports and activities in a brand new Honda Odyssey.

    I will be happy. And fit.

    Done with my BSN hopefully working in pediatric oncology (have to settle being a nurse and not a PA), HAPPILY DIVORCED, maybe in a relationship -- unsure if I even want that, and being a single mom to three tween boys. And that whole running thing...hoping to have 5 100 mile ultras done by then. Yep, lots of good stuff for both of us.

Life is gonna be GREAT!

    Off all but my thyroid medication, helping my eldest through the worst of the teen years, more in love with my husband than ever (though it's difficult to imagine my loving him more than I do now), going on trips with my BFF and taking the train home to visit my sisters every few month. Enjoying my youngest's independence.

    In five years, I hope to have made a Boston Qualifying run and have run Boston marathon already. Maybe twice. hehe I hope to have gotten my black belt and working towards my second degree. I hope that Im teaching kids TaeKwon Do. I also hope that Im either employed with a job from my first degree (pharmacy) or have started on my second degree, possibly nursing or occupational therapy. (My kids will be 17, 16, 14, 12 and 8yo. That's more difficult to imagine.)

    Well, in five years I will have an almost 5 year old which means I will probably have a 2 year old and trying for number 3. :)

    DH and I will be playing music almost full time as a means to pay the bills. Holding down only a part time job for an income that is secured.

    Looking into starting my microfarm.. or on 5 acres with about 20 chickens, 4 sheep, and a HUGE organic garden. Using solar energy to run my home and to run my hot water heater. I will be fit, happy, sexy, and healthy. We will also be living in either an old house that DH and I fixed up ourselves... or one we built while living in a Yurt for a year ;)

    I would also like to become a doula to make some additional side income.

    My oldest will also be learning how to read/write and I will be the head of my local homeschool group! :D

    oh.. and married 8 years!!! 0_0 and 26 years old!!!!

    I'd love to be finished with school and would like to move up some here at work (either a bump in pay or transferring to another position)

    I want to be maintaining my current fitness, and not starting all over again *again* (I was much healthier 5 years ago than I am now :frown: )

    I'll be honest, I really just hope I am happier, all around. I hope that my husband and I can improve our relationship, I hope I can find more peace with myself and get the anxiety under control, I hope that I will find a way to not butt heads with my daughter every single day, etc... It's all stuff I am working on now, and I just hope that 5 years from now I will have found something that works!

    Healthy & happy, still married & with our 2nd child on the way (still have to work on our first, though), living in the same house as now but with some remodeling done, being a stay at home mom with a husband who doesn't have to work *as* hard so we can travel a bit more & overall, enjoying my 30s.

    I don't know where I will be in 5 days, let alone 5 years, lol. All I can say is that I will have teenagers and my youngest will be a tween (eek). Hopefully working full time by then so I can have some independence. My husband may or may not still be around, couldn't honestly say if he will still be around next week, lol. So one day at a time. I do know that barring any major accidents I will be healthier and I hope happier.

    I will hope to be a working Electrical Engineer somewhere around here in the valley and working on or have completed my Masters in EE. I also hope to be super fit, with a dog, and living in a great place most likely renting. My husband who I will have been married to for 7 years at that point will have gone back to school full time to get his Engineering degree or teaching degree while I work full time to pay the bills. I also hope then we will be debt free and have a low school debt and a nice car of some kind. And someday I'll actually own an iPad! I hope to not have kids yet as I'd only be 28 then and still want to go do things... so most likely plan a couple trips out of the country in the mean time. Anything else I leave up in the air!
