And here we go again!

After a two-year lapse I am back at thinking about my blog and what to do with it or where to take it. Since I find myself having plenty of time perusing Pinterest on a daily (or as my husband would say,"hourly") basis, I decided to dig out my ole' blog and fire it back up. I don't have a direction or a theme, it's just a written snapshot, at any random time, of my crazy wonderful life.

It's been 4 years since I was laid-off from my well-paying corporate job. It has taken me four years to grow comfortable with my new way of life as the primary caregiver to my kids during the day. Don't get me wrong.... I have not missed my corporate job one bit. Not one tear has ever shed. The one thing I took for granted while I was working though, was the power of a lunch break. I could run an errand by myself, make a phone call or just sit in my own space and think. I lost all that when I began to stay at home with the kids. It took me four years and my youngest to finally go to school full-time to find myself again. It is a work in progress every day but it is exciting work! I am learning to say 'no' and scheduling myself first. I am learning to embrace the time my kids are at school and not feel guilty for not signing up for every volunteer job in the classroom. I am beginning to know where I want to turn this cruise ship called, "my life" but just have to figure out the best route to take. After being college-educated and working in the corporate world, I know finally what I want to do when I grow up, other than being just a mom. Now I just have to figure out how to create the career and draw a salary from it.
