Career plans, or lack there of

I love being a parent. It has definitely made me grow as a person, and learn to handle responsibility. One of the things I miss the most now that I am a parent, is my time to be creative. I don't have much time to sit down and sew, or paint or even knit. I miss knitting. It has taken me a month to knit almost 12 inches for a scarf I'm trying to knit. I know that once Heather is older I'll be able to start doing fun projects with her and she'll be interested in what I'm doing-also I will be able to have more free time, because she will be able to entertain herself. Another thing I miss is, education. I haven't really graduated from anything I've ever done. I gave up on art history, and I had to leave textiles in my final month because I was pregnant. I am thinking that I might want to further my education, but I can't just sit on my butt for 4 or more years, I have a family now that I need to provide and be there for. I'll have to start a career once Heather is older, therefore I'll have to go into something like dental assisting. Something that once I finish a year (or less) of school I will most likely get a job. With my textiles I can't really find employment. Galleries aren't really interested in my work, and like I said before I don't have the time. There is really no point in thinking about things like this now. I can't do anything for a couple of years anyways. Once Mike finds employment I'll be a stay at home mum...which I am fine with and rather good at. Well my duties call...Heather just woke up from a nap and is looking rather ravenous.
