Usually, well at least most of the people I have met always say that "by the age of 40 I should be married with a couple of kids, have my own home, a great career, and hopefully been to a few places.  I'm 37, I have 3 kids a husband, our own home and I am lucky enough to have visited a few places. BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. I NEED MORE. Life isn't as exciting as I'd hope it would be, I had much more fun BEFORE i had kids and a marriage than I do now. I was a dancer with a company in the caribbean, THAT'S WHERE THE TRAVEL CAME IN......FOR FREE. Yeah they paid for everything. But now that i've "settled down" I am not having that much fun anymore. Yeah i know life is what you make it. But sometimes you either can't afford to "make it", or you just don't have the time, or some other excuse.  I know that with time and good planning I will have all (or maybe most) of what i would still like to achieve and have a good time doing it.........but in the mean time I am working hard, raising kids and trying my best to have a happy marriage, with the great husband I have been blessed with..... HOW ABOUT YOU?
