Here we are again- Isaac is zonked out next to me in bed, Dax is zonked out at my feet (yes, our dog sleeps with us, don't judge me) and I could not possibly be more awake.
On tonight's agenda: what now? I am at a critical moment where I must decide if I am going back to work or not. Yes, the job that makes me miserable. Yes, the job that I have been dying to quit for years. But yes, the job that pays me ridiculously more than I deserve, and also the job that gives me ridiculously good health insurance. But still, what better time to explore something new?
This is where I need help- WHAT new awesome thing should I try? I need something creative, hopefully something to do with design (decorating, layouts, etc) and I can't relocate for said job, since Isaac's not quitting school, as much as I have begged and pleaded.
Sooo..... any ideas? What awesome jobs have you heard of/think I'd be perfect for/have connections to/want to hire me right now for?

If you get more feedback than you can handle, you can pass some ideas on to me. I think I may need to find some way to help with all the expenses, but can't leave home to do it. I'm feeling guilty because I spend all the money but don't feel like I contribute at all to any coming in.
Miss you and love you!

I say start running a blog where you get loads of sponsors. For the life of me, I don't get how people do it (Pioneer Woman, for example) but it's happening out there. Might as well be you!
Wow that's a tough decision. I don't blame you for not wanting to go back to work. I wouldn't. I would rather do something I loved. But its so hard to pass up the goodies they give out... I don't know... I must say I have loved staying at home so far so I will say do that. but I don't have any ideas for you to work on.
I think you should open a shop- and make/sell your cute quilts, zipper pouches, and all your cute things- heck I'm in need of some zipper pouches- I'll be your first customer!
I like Kim's idea. I've got some fabric I can donate. Flannel work okay?
You're a darling. Let me know when you're up for it and we'll go on an adventure of some sort. Maybe once I get my car back.
Buy the book - 48 days to the work you love by Dan Miller- that should help you to focus in on your dream job!!! Good Luck.
I don't have any ideas as far as jobs go...I am a lurker. :) I think we might have a mutual friend, Angie Jensen in Utah?
Anyway....I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Some of what I have read on your blog reminds me of my own feelings as we said goodbye to what I call "my favorite baby" who came to our home through foster care at 2 days old. We were hoping (and it was looking promising) that we would be able to adopt her. But 8 months later we had to say goodbye. Infertility for 15 years, and 3 failed placements didn't match the pain that saying goodbye to our little Ashanti. thank you for sharing your feelings with so many...it helps those you may not even know of.
I hope this year brings much peace to your heart!
I agree that you should do something you enjoy, like selling those cute zipper purses. There are cute craft sites like Etsy you should look into as well.
I should buy a house and pay you to decorate it...
loved what kim and andrea had to say! you are so talented, just go and do and share what you are with everyone! and like i said before, spend time exploring and go shoot like crazy. i wish i had more time to do that! way to go on quitting your job.
I think that you should get paid to write a blog. Bring back Philly Phridays!
How do you feel about designing wedding invitations? I think you would be really good at it!
