When I grow up...

I have been thinking about what I want to be when I grow up. I feel in many ways like it is way past time for me to have this figured out. I had so much potential coming out of high school and I let all of that go. No excuse, really. And don't get me wrong, raising the children to be as great as they are has been a labor of love. I couldn't think of a better career besides Super Mom. I've just been feeling like there is so much that I could do that would be a benefit to other people.
I do not want to work hard. That is no secret. I hate schedules, having to be somewhere at a certain time to make a profit for someone else. Not my style. I don't play into the whole "work drama" environment, tending to mind my own business. Some people would say that I am snobby, I choose selective.
Some things that I think I would like to do:
Foster parent. I probably could not stay home and do this as a career. It would be another labor of love, but I would like to take this on at some point in our lives. I think that we would make a great spot for kids to blossom. Especially those that need a little extra tending. I am very accepting of people's issues and I think we could make a difference for these "left-behind" children.
Children's book author. You seem to think that this would be something I could do. Now that I have found the rhyming dictionary, maybe it is possible. It would be a job that I could do at home in my pajamas...or not in my pajamas:) It is a very tough area to succeed in, but goodness knows that I have read a ton of bad books that have still been published. Maybe something to try? I'll try to come up with a good topic.
Hospice worker. Sometimes I feel pulled to work with the dying. I would hope that I could ease this transition for people and help them feel less fear. I wonder if I could help them be less scared of something that I myself am so terrified of. But, I know that I can send a certain peacefulness out of my self that people find comfort in. I could help them with scrapbooks and things to make them feel remembered. I need to sign up to do some volunteer work in this field, who knows what it will lead to.
Teacher. Of course this is what I was pursuing my degree in. I don't have that much interest in being a teacher. I never would have gone for it if I didn't have my children. I would have pursued something in psychology or politics/law. I would have fun being a jr. high math teacher. But I would also work well with autistic students. I don't know if I would want to get my special ed degree though, I have zero desire to work with behavior disorder children (translation = children of behavior disorder parents, for I don't believe much of a child's behavior is their own when they are young).
Sex boutique owner. We have talked about this. Having a classy place for people to learn, explore, and express their sensual side. There is so much oppourtunity in this area, but we know that nothing like what I dream of would ever work around this area. People are too close-minded, too judgemental. Still, maybe someday?
Best partner EVER. My most important goal is to be the best partner you have ever had. I want you to always know that you can count on me for anything. I want to be the reason for your smiles and I will never stop spoiling you! I am crazy about you and look forward to a bright bright future by your side!
I LOVE YOU!! xoxo
