Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.
I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

There will be days when you will wish you had not only missed it but that he had never started -- belive me -- my often uttered phrase to my nonstop chatterbox 8 year old is "I can't believe I WAITED for your first word...what was I thinking?"
Yes. We. Did.
Parts of New Hampshire where I live devastated by "100 year" floods in 2005

Yes. We. Did.
