Something to say

Here I am, trying to figure out if I have something worth saying.  Basically, trying to prove to myself, that after 8 and a half years of motherhood, and 5 years of being home full time, that I really am more than a mom.  I love my husband and my two kids more than anything, but I often miss life when my main job wasn't making meals, answering incessant questions, driving kids to activities, and helping with homework.

My youngest started kindergarten this year, and now I need to figure out how to focus on me again and what I want to do.  If I don't do something soon, I will have wasted a ridiculously huge amount of time.   I'd love to find a perfect part-time job, because I still have a lot of obligations to my children, as well as to the School Board.  If I'm able to find part-time work, then we'll be able to get a new car in a year or so, and hopefully get a larger house.  But the whole idea is a little bit overwhelming.  I've been home with my kids, and going back to my old career, or a new one, is just, honestly, frightening.

So, I'm trying to sort through all of this, and I figured maybe I would use this blog to do it.  Hopefully I'll figure something out......
