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!
