Not knowing what you want to be when you “grow up” is kind of frustrating, especially when you are on the verge of thirty years old. Before I had children, I knew exactly what I wanted to be. There were no questions or second thoughts. After children, I am stuck on wanting to be a stay-at-home mom. Not even in my wildest dreams would I have pictured my self being in this very spot ten-fifteen years ago.
Knowing that I will be a stay-at-home mom again soon, I have found myself wanting to explore various paths. Do I finish school and start a career in a few short years or do I pick up hobbies that could potentially generate income? Oh, the possibilities are endless.
- Something I always found interesting was welding. I am not talking about making giant tanks or cylinders, but rather art. Throw on a pair of tillman gloves and go. I have seen some amazing pieces of metal artwork and it would be awesome to be able to do that with my own two hands.
- I would love to design and sell my own clothing, too. Nothing too fancy, but how cool would it be to see people wearing your designs?
- Elementary education has been on the back of my mind a lot lately, too. I’m not sure I would want to teach anything other than K – 2nd grade. Who knows?
As I said, there are so many possibilities. For the next two or three years though, I will be staying right here with my babies. I will take my time figuring out what I want to do so that this time, I can do it right.
