i'm a pretty pretty princess
so. i just learned something tonight. thought i would share.
i know that catalpa is the name of a tree. catalpa trees. i did not know that one of the common names is "princess tree."
yep. that is how much of a princess i am. even my web address mentions being a princess twice.
on another note. i am almost done with this very long and tiring semester. then i will be off to europe to putz about. which is most definitely worth it. but i sometimes stop and wonder where children and a home fit into this lifestyle.
i would like to think that i can do it all. i would like to think that i can have a house and children when i want them. of course, i think this about everything. what i want, when i want it.
but i know it doesn't work this way. buying a house is expensive and takes time. i know that having children also takes time. but when we have both, how likely are we to continue traveling in the summers to europe? will we leave a home behind? will we travel freely with children? or will we become the kinds of people out of simplicity never go anywhere ever again?
so i ponder the sacrifices of a home and child/ren. i think about this and consider my life. the life i could have without children and a house. the life i could have with both. why can't i have it all?
I think when you have children, some things get put on hold for a while. But that doesn't mean that you stop doing those things forever and ever, amen.
hmm, or you could just take my approach and move somewhere in europe, buy a house and plan a family. But then you spend all of your money saving up for holidays to visit family back home...
