Well said." And also wondering why the only photos on our walls were of studio pictures - that one, a snapshot, captures so much More.CatrinkaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383407884034887408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-8557197096077536602009-06-07T21:01:38.334-04:002009-06-07T21:01:38.334-04:00How crazy was that!?!

Do not rate you or your blog on comments alone (I stopped doing that eons ago).

One's job title doesn't define them. Besides, people who don't already know you and love you regardless of your "job", don't matter. Those people you meet (at a party, or Q's school or whatever) who might be impressed if you said "I'm an attorney" or "I'm a DA" or "I'm a pediatrician"... does their opinion matter? I used to think it did. It took 5 years of having NO JOB TITLE for me to realize that a job title doesn't give one their attributes. It gives them a paycheck. <br /><br />I think your dad couldn't care less if you're in IT, or a doctor, or a lawyer. You've already said that, now you should BELIEVE IT.<br /><br />If you want to be an attorney, you should do it because more than anything in the world, you want to read cases upon cases and pick them apart to use them to defend or prosecute somebody.Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-71364269919340520412009-06-05T10:34:21.085-04:002009-06-05T10:34:21.085-04:00I don't think my last comment really conveyed ...I don't think my last comment really conveyed what I was trying to say. What I mean to say is ... you are still held to a high standard and you're meeting it. And whatever you were taught as a kid has stuck with you. I am sure of it.<br /><br />I'm new to parenting, but I'm guessing that's part of being a parent--trying to instill morals and values into your kids and then letting go and crossing your fingers, hoping that your kids take your lessons to heart. That matters more to your parents than the profession you end up in.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048568803528558483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-9153658618544443452009-06-05T10:13:36.229-04:002009-06-05T10:13:36.229-04:00Whoa.

I thought it was crazy when I saw your post shortly after posting mine, but now this is just beyond weird.<br /><br />Your dad sounds like a neat guy. He puts my husband to shame-- the guy doesn't like to drink water. Yes, water. So health reprimands will not be coming out of his mouth any time soon, I don't think. He's not as bad as doctors who are chain smokers, but really... he could be better.<br /><br />I thought a lot about your post last night and I struggled with your comment on being held to a higher standard. I see my career as a way of defining whether or not I'm successful, but in reality, there are so many other things I should look to instead. When I was younger I was a dishonest, sneaky bugger. I'd cheat at Uno and I'd lie whenever I could. In elementary school I stole someone's lunch money so I could get ice cream. I think my mom was concerned about my personality. But I remember the day that I decided to change my ways. And now my integrity is something my mom boasts about. I don't think she tells many people I'm a lawyer. When people ask me what I do for a living, I sometimes cringe because I think it doesn't really answer who I am as a person.<br /><br />You are an amazing mother and a sweet human being who has touched many people through this blog. If I met you on the street, I would just sense that you are a good person. So you're meeting a higher standard that you should be proud of. And I am sure your dad thinks so too.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048568803528558483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-36496532747341192872009-06-05T09:39:17.459-04:002009-06-05T09:39:17.459-04:00OMG - mu-mu's!

I think you're doing fine. <br /><br />Great post. And hey, that picture on the last post? Too cute.blognuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161713516407124717noreply@blogger.com
