I didn't feel that blow...you sure there was one there?
look my kids are babies...my son just started pre school this year...dd may or may not go next year for two days a week (more likely will) I know this stage of the game doesn't last forever and I DON'T regret staying home with them..(hope they don't regret staying home with me)
Life is not as short as you think and I am not as far behind as it may seem...I already have a bachelors degree and just got certified as an emt...when dd starts first grade I intend to get some job within the school system even if just as the lunch lady...sort of get my foot in the door...work my way into the "who to know" croud...use my degree and possibly further my education...I am young damn it and unlike some people I don't have some fear of not having enough time to get it done (not having enough hands to keep the house clean and picked up is more like it) I do not fall into the category of people who think you have to do what it is your going to do "work wise" in the golden typical college age...if I'm 40 when I get my masters will it still not be a masters? perhaps my original carreer choice will help you to understand why I don't fear not being there yet...I would like to be a counselor...now let's see? I'm 30 NOW...what is the typical age of people seeking councel? would they listen to a 30 year old? would they believe she has a freakin clue? nope they'd think she just knows what she knows from books. SO not starting there yet is not an issue for me...I know I have time and purposefully took that time off to have a family...would I like to have more of a "family" meaning h to have or dedicate more time to the family? sure...but I can deal with it the way it is.
my life? how much more can I really do RIGHT NOW? I just finneshed my emt certification...will be volunteering with the towns ambulance right now I'm taking the required hazmat course. I started a montly book discussion group in town. A friend just told me of a need for a secretary for the education commitee in the town next door (how's that for getting to know those you need to know) wich I may consider as it's only two nights a month and pays to boot!
I just went out last night singing with my mom and a local friend...I mean c'mon what more would you suggest I do to fill my life? should I start having tupperware parties?
