Well here is my second entry into this new venture.  I have had my usual hectic week of carting kids to orthodontist's appointments, practices, games, and such.  It is now the weekend and should be my time (for the most part).  It is SuperBowl weekend and I am looking forward to the game.  I love my football and I am sad to see it end.  But after football is Nascar and that is a good fill in for me. 

So, I am in thinking mode of what I want to be when I grow up.  I have been running up and down the digital highway seeing what is out there that would fit into my lifestyle and be a decent career choice for me.  I am first and foremost a mom.  That is what I always wanted to be and am so thankful I have been afforded this opportunity in life.  But the oldest is off in college and the youngest will be starting elementary school in August.  When that moment comes of her stepping onto that bus the first day of school....it will be just me....all by myself....for the first time in 6 years.  While that sounds like a thrill I have waited for for a long time, that joy will be short lived.  There is only so much reorganizing and rearranging that can be done around this house before I will need something more to do with myself. 

This is where the search begins.  I am a person who wants to fix problems.  I like making decisions.  In fact I feel like that is one of my strong points.  I like learning new things.  I have done research on so many things that most people would probably fall asleep just saying the subjects to them.  Internet research is one of my possible endeavours.  I have researched and read up on the Patriot Act, septic systems, Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules, insects, wage rules, medicines, illnesses, and on and on.  I told you....very eclectic blend of subject matter.  I love to cook, so do I venture down a path to do with culinary interests?  I could go on and on with interests and such. 

So now I am off to do more research and see what I can find as inspiration to put me one step closer to being the next "me".  I am still me, but ready to move on to the next level of "me".  Because it sure is good to be "me".
