The Joys of Fall

It's almost fall again and this one will still be crazy. Anthony started school today. He's in 7th grade already. That just seems crazy to me. He's in band still. Jazz band is likely as well. He is also back playing soccer again. I also am keeping busy. Getting ready for fall softball once again. Double headers as always.

 I'm still up in the air about school as of now. Part of me wants to go back and another part of me is kind of scared to. I know I want to further my education and career but I'm just so uncertain. Work is the same for me. Been in retail so long that the years just seem to blur. Another couple of months and it will be 7 years at my current place of employment. Time flies.

Laini is doing well. She is growing like a weed. She is already as tall as my niece Lexi and she doesn't turn 2 until November. Insane I say! Connie is still working at the same place. Same days I envy her. I don't know how she handles/juggles everything. She would say that that's what mom's do. I love her for it. She is everything to me. Well, I'll write more later. For now, I'm off to sleep.

Career Paths

So, it's been awhile since I've been on here. But, some things have come up recently that have made me start thinking about my future again. I've come to realize that retail is not the career for me. It's been fun while it lasted but, I need a change. So, I've been thinking about options for school and classes. I want to first throw out that I have no idea when this will happen. I've been wanting to get back into photography for awhile now. But, in all honesty, I'm not sure that's going to be a path that will pay the bills and take care of my family. However, I have not ruled it out either. I also heard about a local college that offers degrees in Sports Management. That is something I'd like to check into. My whole life has revolved around sports. Both playing and coaching. I can't remember the school, but I'm going to be doing to investigating. I just need a new path. Retail has been great the last 6 or 7 years, but I can just feel it in my heart that it is not what I was meant to be doing. Now I know that some of you would like to see me further my interests in art. Well, what can I say to that? I still love art and comics very much. I just don't see that going very well seeing that as I right this I haven't done an art project in about 10 years or so. Sucks, but such as life. I've been spending time with family and enjoying time with my kids. That doesn't mean I won't do some art in my spare time, but not as a career. I have been doing a whole lot of sports over that time though. Whether it be playing/coaching softball or enjoying my son playing sports. I have been thinking about getting a coaches license the last couple of years but, maybe the Sports Management path is the way to go instead. I know I'm kind of rambling on here, so I talk more about this later. For now, feel free to chime in with any thoughts or opinions. Until next time.
