Fill In The Blank Friday (on Saturday)

1.  I am proud of   the steps I've taken and the ones I will take to continue on this adventure   .

2.   This weekend I will   be working at my day job, more planning and organizing on my dream job, baking cookies, going to a work back to school party, and nesting away    .

3.  A secret dream I have is    to  finish writing my children's book and get published, and turn it into a fantastic series  .

4. I can't handle    rude people and bad drivers .

5. The most annoying thing in the entire world is    people who come into places and talk super loud on their cell phones. Sorry but it's rude .

6. The most relaxing thing in the entire world is    taking a bubble bath, while drinking a glass of wine, and listening to music .

7.  I think everyone should    live their lives and let others do the same. I'm tired of seeing others judging each other for their life choices and spreading hate. People should be concerned more with their own lives and the imprint they are leaving. Make a difference and grow as a person, instead of tormenting others. (end rant)    .

Quit Your Day Job?

Today starts the first day of my stay-cation. I actually took off to go to Colorado with my husband and his band, but I decided a 10 hour drive in a van may not be the best idea for pregnant me. So it's me, the pups, and the baby bump. 

As I was cleaning out and organizing all the pictures on my computer, I came across this picture of me before I moved here and worked at a pottery studio. (I'm pretty sure my mom sister took this picture.) This picture got me thinking about jobs. I loved my job at the pottery studio and on my day off on Monday's I taught private art lessons. I never dreaded going to work, and even though I didn't make very much money I felt accomplished and happy. 

Clint and I have been talking lots about what were are going to do once the baby arrives. He really doesn't want me to work, and I want to stay home and be the best mom I can be. But then we have bills to think about, and I'd like to keep contributing so my husband doesn't feel burdened. 

I've been thinking of things I can do from home, and working on projects that make me happy. I'm hoping this will lead to a more permanent stay at home career doing something I love.  I also hope to one day, open up an art studio here in town and teach to those who have a passion for art. 

But for now, I'm working on writing my children's book, and working on lots of art related projects to eventually fill my etsy store with.

How did you transition to stay at home mom? Or did you return to work? Have you quit your day job to do your dream job?

I frequently read the quit your day job posts on the etsy blog. Anyone else do that?

Well time to get dressed and go watch the Katy Perry movie by myself....I hope I get the cool 3D glasses!
