I became a stay at home mom, or a SAHM as I hate to hear them called, 14 months ago. I thought for sure that I would LOVE every minute of not working a 9-5, or any other variation of an 8-9 hour day. Not to say that I don't love every minute of it because I do! Waking up and seeing my lil B's smiling face every morning is so worth missing a small bi-weekly paycheck. As any stay at home mom knows, my days consist of changing diapers, bathing, feeding, changing clothes, walking, putting down for naptime, changing diapers, playing, walking...and on and on and on until bedtime. Not to mention the cleaning of the house, the laundry, the meal preparations, paying the bills, grocery shopping...and on and on that goes. It's easy to lose your sense of self and even easier to feel like you don't really contribute enough (and if you've been paying attention you would now say to yourself "not contribute enough, you must be CRAZY"!!!). Yes, thank you. I have seen storys on the news of entreprenuerial women who start their own businesses, work from home and accomplish amazing things and that's what I am setting out to do!!! Now, if I could only figure out exactly what I'm going to do then I could get started....
PROBLEM.
I am the worst at making decisions. Please don't ask me where we should go eat, or what we should do for the day...guess why!?! Because I don't know, and to be completely honest, I really don't care. And too many options overwhelm me. I can think of 9,456,258,947,2837,053 things that I COULD do, I just can't decide which I WANT to do. I think I'd be a great purse designer (Oh have I got an eye for a good bag!), or I could open my own bakery (love to bake!). I think I could have an event planning business, there is a market here for that and one could make a killing at it! My mother thinks I need to be a personal stylist (although the farther from college I get, the more my fashion constitutes jeans and a wife-beater). I wouldn't mind just being someones personal assistant as long as I could work from home, you know, these days all you need is the phone and a computer and you can overcome the world! AND....here we are, too many options!
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow...I'm tired.
Yay, you're a blogger! Not to add just one more option to you list, ;) but you can make some decent money just by blogging! Sorry if that overwhelmed you. ;) Making some decisions are tough, indeed. I say, just trust God to lead you down the right path. Maybe you'll take a wrong turn here or there, but the experience will be fun and you'll learn something about yourself with each and every one taking you that much closer to where you need to go.
