Trying this out...

Ok so I'm totally new at this blogging thing but it seems to be the latest craze or maybe I'm really behind the curve. I couldn't imagine having time to sit at the computer everyday and write uninterrupted. Then I thought about it and everyday I come in here, look at the computer, sit down, nope-no new emails, now what? I guess I do have time and it seems to be a great outlet and way of keeping in contact with family and friends who live so far away.

So I was lying in bed this morning, nursing the baby and thinking about what I would do if I had to get a job. I haven't worked in almost eight years. Wow! I can hardly believe it's been that long. Maybe it's because I work harder now than I ever did in a corporate office. I'm not saying I use my brain and intellect more, just physically more demanding.

So anyways, back to thinking about what I would do if I had to get a REAL job. I have a degree in Accounting but can hardly remember all the lingo. Would I go back to school and take some refresher courses before interviewing? I would so totally be that lady I interviewed nine years ago that had been out of the workforce for 15 years because she chose to stay home with her children. I was so arrogant back then. I wish I could do it all again knowing what I know now. Though I enjoyed promotions and success I think I was lacking in the maturity department.

As I kept imagining the different scenarios I decided I would probably go to nursing school (for midwifery). Random I know. It's been in the back of my mind for awhile now but I can't imagine going back to school with a house full of children. Maybe when they're older and I have more time? Then there's always teaching. I'm sure I wouldn't have to take many more classes to get a teaching certificate. So goes my minds, on and on, all the while Braden is content as can be getting his morning milk. When I come back to reality, I realize he is gazing up at me with a look of wonder in his eyes. Or maybe just food coma.

So that's my first blog. I hope it wasn't too boring!
