I haven't blogged for a while because basically I've been back at work. I've even taken a giant leap and taken on a NEW CAREER PATH ! You know - its all the rage for people my age (and more). Apparently its quite common and we can expect to do it more than once in our lifetime.
Well, barleese! I know now why I should have worked harder and been better focussed when I was in my early 20's and studying at uni. It's SO much harder now !! I have less energy than back then, and I have a million more distractions (like husband, kid, house to manage etc).
Some days I'm really proud of myself for achieving what I am, and doing something proactive to improve myself and my prospects etc...
And some days I'm just really sad that I can't be the person I really want to be - the kind of work I really want to do doesn't pay !! (parenting, volunteer committeee work, volunteer sports coaching and umpiring, fostering kids etc...)
I used be be a raging feminist - spouting off about equal rights and women and do anything ! Now, I wonder if the feminism movement hasn't just made life harder for women. (Of course, there have been some huge benefits too - can't deny it).
Is it just a case of the grass being greener?

Is there more to life than children and family?
More to the horizon than what's for dinner?
Join me as I ponder some personal views on parenting, people relationships, fun and the big wide consumerist world we live in... or... "how to raise nice kids and survive the process".
