Where you'd like to be in 10 years...
Oooh, this one is a toughie. I'm hoping that by that point I will no longer be a stay-at-home-mom, since my kids will be nearly sixteen, eighteen and twenty-three by that point. (They won't need me here after school by then, will they? Pleasesaynopleasesaynopleasesayno!) If my primary dream of winning the lottery and becoming a lady of luxury hasn't come true by then (and since I don't actually play the lottery I'm guessing it won't), I'd like to have a career going. I'm hoping to go to school in the next year or two--for what exactly, I still don't know. I'd like to get into either the medical field or maybe go to beauty school. (Two very different career paths, I know.) My cousin and I have talked about going to the local community college together and taking some non-credit courses in floral arrangement and party planning. (Another dream of mine is to open a floral boutique/party planning business.) With Sam and Norah being so young still, it's going to be hard to do nursing school because you have to be available pretty much 24/7. I've been thinking of taking a phlebotomy certification course as a way to get myself into the field and then adding to it with a laboratory assistant certification and then maybe become a medical assistant. After caring for my mom while she was sick and giving Jake his weekly injections, I know that I'm less squeamish than I ever thought I was. On the other hand, I also have a real interest in becoming a stylist and doing hair. That would definitely be the more playful and fun job! No blood or guts and the only crying is over a bad haircut.
Sometimes thinking about the future makes my head spin. I have a LOT of planning to do. Maybe tomorrow I'll buy a lottery ticket...
