Crossroads

So I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon with this blog thing!
I've thought about it for a while but honestly, what do I have to say that would possibly interest anyone?
But, I hear it's good therapy so here goes. If you have nothing better to do an you wish to read this blog, thanks! Leave me a comment so I know you were here.
So I guess my life is at somewhat of a crossroads. The future of my job is questionable and I've been thinking of making a change anyway. Only now the decision might be out of my hands. It's nothing I've done, mind you, it's just the way business works sometimes.
I've been in my current job for 9 1/2 years. I really like what I do, for the most part but honestly, it's not at all challenging or fulfilling. It's just easy and comfortable.
I've really never been a career minded person. Thankfully, my husband is but I've always been very comfortable in a support role. I keep the laundry done, the house somewhat clean, the dog fed and sometimes I even cook dinner for the family. My "job" has always been a part time gig and that has suited me just fine. However in the last few years, we have felt the pressure of 2 kids headed for college and the need for a more full time income .
So what do I want to do with my life? What do I want to be when I grow up? What do I have to offer a potential employer? The answer keeps coming back to a big fat "I dunno!"

I'll read!! Heck, if you read my mundane stuff I can surely read yours!

So you're thinking about growing up? Why?

I think you have a lot to offer an employer! Of course, I'm your mommy, so I may be a bit prejudiced. But you have tons of experience in unpaid positions, and have demonstrated faithfulness in somewhat thankless jobs. You're great at organizing, and you are a real people person, which I envy!

Hey this is great; I'll read! Who would think that when you turn 40 somthing that you would be wondering what you want to be or do when you grow up? I am in the same spot!

By the way, you're a great writer. Maybe you can do something with that!
