Yes, what we do is an awesome career. However I am getting really tired of grading papers.Being a mom (which I am) and teaching at a university (which I do). I'm lucky to have had both of those jobs for a while. My next dream job - within 5 years - will be to be a writer on the porches, at the coffee shops, at the beach in SoWal (I may still teach part-time). But SoWal will definitely be part of my dream job and I've been planning that for over 10 years! Can't believe that time has almost come.
I like working 26 weeks a year and being off work 26 weeks a year. I'll be in SoWal most of the time from mid-May to mid-August.
But then being in SoWal most of 52 weeks a year sounds pretty nice at my age. That being said, I'd rather be 30 and re-live having those wonderful years with our daughter growing up, and experiencing my success and hubby's success. And having Mom before Alzheimer's.
I've been blessed.
