When someone asks me what my dream job is, I usually say "Writer/Author" and while I would LOVE to be able to write for a living, it is not exactly my dream job.
Today's confession is that being a Mom is my dream job. I have spent a lot of time over the past year trying to find my place, trying to find a job that I could wake up every single day and be utterly and completely happy going to. I've searched, found nothing that even remotely seems interesting. I do have an extremely great job right now and there is absolutely no other job out there that I have found that would make it worth my while to leave where I am at. That doesn't mean that I get overly thrilled to wake up every day and come to work, I just know how lucky I am to have the job that I do, the opportunity to have security where I am at. The ability to work with my family, spend quality time with my Grandpa and Dad is something that I love and something that would take an extremely awesome opportunity to want to leave.
I honestly do not feel that there is a job out there that will be able to make me feel fulfilled like being a Mother will. This is something that deep down I know I have felt for a while but the open realization and understanding makes a lot of things fall into place for me. I realize now why I just don't relate to a lot of my friends anymore, it's not that I don't love them or that I will not be there for them, we are just at different places. I do feel that we will all catch back up to one another one day until then we will always find our way to make our relationships work.
Now {for my family out there that will possibly see this} don't get panties in a bunch thinking we are having kids today, because that is NOT the case. Andrew & I are currently navigating our way through just being married, being us, working on our relationship every single day. We both know that kids are in our future, that has never been a question for either of us. It just has to happen in its own time and when it's right for US.
Until then I will enjoy my daily overdose of coffee & multiple glasses of wine at night all while pinning brilliant ideas for when we do decide it's the right time :P
For these pins & more head on over the my Pinterest Page
Happy Tuesday everyone!!! :)
These are all great! We are in the process of fertility treatments right now, so I have a Fantasy Baby board on Pinterest. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one pinning for the baby I don't have!
ReplyDeleteAs for mommy-ness, I feel the same way. There isn't a job or career that I'd rather have instead of staying home with my future children. That's not to say that they won't drive me nutso on a daily basis and probably make me cry, but I haven't ever had a job that didn't do that to me either. :)
New follower, yo.
Being a mommy is the best job in the whole wide world. And trust me...those few glasses of wine at night will definitely still be around once you have kids too, only add a few more and go ahead and make it a bottle. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeing a mom is a great job, can be hard but great.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures!!
Thanks for posting this! I always felt silly, because even when I was in college, when people would ask me what I wanted to be, I ALWAYS said "Mommy" So I totally get where you're coming from....totally.

Ahh continuing my Mommy Confessions crying streak! Third post in a row that brought tears! :) I love this! I love your honesty - most people don't talk about this stuff - people always focus on what career they want to have, regardless of if they really want to have a family or not. It's like we're "supposed" to say that all we want in life is x, y, z career, and some of us don't!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously so flippin excited for when you land your dream job ;-)
Thanks for linking up with us!!
