possibilities

I'm having some trouble today getting words out on the page. I have so much I want to write about during the day, while I'm at work, in the car...but the second I'm in front of my computer & have time to write all those thoughts fly out of my head.

So.

I've been thinking lately about going back to school. Will it happen anytime soon? Probably not. But I'm thinking about it anyway. Because a month before I graduated with my Psych BA? I decided I didn't want to go to grad school and be a psychologist. And sadly, there's nothing in the field you can do without a graduate degree. I mean it. Nothing. So I graduated & proudly walked across the stage to accept my useless piece of paper diploma.

I started job hunting and finally found an admin job answering phones and doing clerical work. It was a crappy job, but it was a job at least. I kept looking - after all, they say it's easier to find a job when you have one - and in the meantime I just kept answering the phones & data entry. It sucked, but I guess they liked me enough to keep me around. Almost four years later I'm still there, and now I work in the accounting department.

That's another story for another day, but my point here is that I kind of fell into accounting. I don't have any accounting background & I'm actually not great at math. I was thinking about going back for an accounting degree in 2008...then I got pregnant and that plan was quickly abandoned. It's still something I might like to do once Will is a little older.

Or, I may go back and study meteorology. I've always been a huge weather freak. I love watching the Weather Channel (it doesn't just provide good info, it kept me company for many lonely nights when I was single. Joking...). I love anything to do with storms, weather phenomena...and I have a huge crush on Jim Cantore. Huge.

I get butterflies in my tummy when I see him, people. My husband knows he doesn't stand a chance if Cantore ever comes around.

But I digress, my love for Mr. Cantore is not the subject of this post.

Anyway, I have a few options. Or, I might end up being able to stay home with Will in the near future. You never know what possibilities may arise...
