Crossroads... what do you want to be when you grow up?

I don't know about you, but I still ask myself that question, at least once a week. I have a job, a good job... good salary, good benefits, and nice people. I don't LOVE what I do (sales), and it is  frustrating because at this age I don't know where I should be, right? What I should be doing!

My problem is passion, I'm lacking passion. I have passion for life, for my hubs, my boys are my passion (yeah, I'm smitten. wink*wink); but I'm lacking the passion at work. I have considered changing jobs, but these days is kind of tough to look for a new job, it is so competitive, and I'm scared sh*tless of change. I have been working where I'm at for 13 years!! This is the longest stint on my resume.  As most of us do, I spent most of the day at work, so this weighs heavily on me. 

In the mean time, I started school again to finish my bachelor degree. I have been working on it for almost 20 years, yikes!! This is my third attempt at finishing my Bachelor in the last 2 years. Started school, yayy pregnant!!, falling sleeping in front of the computer, quit... repeat in a year! I couldn't keep up with work and school during my pregnancies, I couldn't stay awake long enough to read or do homework. Sooo, this is my shot at finishing the seven classes I have left. I have an AS in Advertising and many credits… enough for a bachelor’s, but not all in the same concentration. 

Like I said, I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I said that to one of my friends/co-worker today, and she said "BUT, you are 41!!" LOL Yes, I'm. About to be 42 in 15 days, but who's counting? WHOOP, WHOOP!! 

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? 
I want to be a baker, a hair or fashion stylist, a dancer, a personal shopper, a business owner... hey, a girl can dream!




You know you are a mami when...

you spend 5 minutes trying to convince your 2 year old son that green is actually green and not red.

**Yeah, we are working on green. He got all the other colors right, including purple. But he really thinks green is red!

Product review - Glade® Plugins® Scented Oil Customizables™

I got a free coupon for the Plugins Scented Oil Customizables. With 2 dogs and 2 kids running around in the house I need this!! I selected the Clean Linen & Sunny Days combination. I love clean scents and this is the perfect combination. The clean linen smells clean, fresh… like the package illustration, smells like freshly clean laundry. The Sunny Days smells slightly sweeter, but like a sunny afternoon out. :-)

The plug in cover design is very nice; it doesn't look like just a box plugged in. It gives the product a finished look that can blend in any home decor. I love the fact that it alternates the scents without having to deal with it. 

I had to adjust the fragrance because at full capacity it can be overwhelming… whoa!! But with the little dial I was able to get that happy medium place and I love it.

Originally I had it in the living room, but I moved it to a hallway near to the kids and dogs rooms and it’s perfect. You can’t tell (smell) there are dogs nearby.

Give it a try, you will like it.

You know you are a mami when...

you realize you are singing Go Diego songs 10 minutes after you drop the kids at daycare because "you forgot" to turn it off.
