Just When You Think You Have It All Figured Out....

So, I am finally coming to terms and accepting this whole stay-at-home Mom gig and then God throws another curve ball. Really? He sure likes to keep me on my toes!  I received a phone call from a legal staffing firm that I signed up with right before I was booted from my last job.

Wait....let me back up. I know I said I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I do! But I never actually formally worked in the field. Two weeks before graduation (while student teaching) it hit me like a Mach truck. What was I doing? I never wanted to be a teacher, I couldn't see myself doing this for the rest of my life!....I know, you are thinking well that would have been helpful to figure out WAY before graduation! Believe me, I know. Plus, I tend to look to the future not the present. I envisioned myself correcting papers and cutting out the next days project for the preschoolers at 50 years-old when I was only 24 years-old. Nothing like not living in the present.

So, I received my diploma, got a random job working for a health insurance company. Then a few years later I decided I needed a career direction and went back to school to be a paralegal. So, that is what I did for five years before I ended up where I am now.

Back to the curve ball.  This staffing firm called me today to tell me about a fantastic temporary (3 month contract) position doing pretty much the exact same thing I did at my previous job (which I loved).  My thought is, maybe this opportunity would give me a boost to experience the career world again just long enough for me to appreciate what I have at home...to help me to realize what I have is GOOD! God sure does work in mysterious ways!! I am just rolling with it. I will keep you posted as to what I decide....
