When life gives you lemons....

Pretty sure this is considered a mid life crisis...just sayin.


My issue.....how do I know what I want to do with my life!?!? I left the path that was leading me to a nursing degree, to do what I originally wanted do..teach. And now I cannot stop thinking about being a nurse..and all of the great things that come with it. I have developed a passion for child birth, birth plans, empowering women to do what they were born to do....but at the exact same time..I have a desire to teach....I cant tell if its the benefits that I am wanting..both careers come with benefits though...a career in nursing is a little more beneficial as far as room for opportunities, job security, decent pay, tons of choices as to where you want to work...and teaching has benefits like..summers off, holidays off, a set schedule which all equals more time with my family. But its lacking something very important...job security. As our country is in the process of going into a depression..I would like to be secure in the fact that I can provide for my family. Heaven for bid something ever happend to Brad...or to me for that matter...I want our kids to be taken care of!!! ahhh I feel like I put way to much thought into these things...and I should just go with one or the other and stick to it!! But at the sometime....its not only my future!...It my husbands...and my kids!


So do you see my dilemma? UGH


The fall semester starts in less than a month.......ill keep you posted as far as what I decide to do..



Until then.....question of the day: How did you know what you wanted to do? and what did you go to college for? Or what are doing now?..are you happy with it?






When life gives you lemons, make lemonade----take advantage of the good positions you are in....dont dwell on the bad ones.

Top 5 SIMPLE lunch ideas for my 1 year old!

Keep in mind VARIETY is key! And if your little one doesn't like something one day, keep trying it!! It can take a child up to 7 times of trying something to begin to like it or to get used a foreign texture/taste!! So DON'T GIVE UP MOMMAS!
