What Am I Going to Be?

I remember feeling overwhelmed with what I should do or go my senior year... Then, for 3 years, I was perfectly content and happy, knowing that I was where I should be teaching... I loved it... Then, I became a full time mom, totally happy with what I was and loving it... But, it was also a difficult decision at the time... Now, I am coming up to another stage... Should I go back to school and teach a bit again with great benefits and the ability to travel/ pay off the house after the first year? (But that's all really scary to go back to school and interview!) Should I get a part time temporary type job without as much money, but a little less preparation- still fear of the finding it part? Or, should I just volunteer and work around the house? Or, should I pursue photography- also scary because I don't know how to start a buisness? Yikes!!! I am so unsure and lost and scared... need to pray!!!

Chloe's Home and Video

On Monday, tiny Chloe got to come home from the NICU! After 4 1/2 months, it was such an awesome day!!!! I was honored that they asked me to come along to take pictures and get to watch!! Here's Chloe's video (with pictures from her blog) and ones from when she came home!!!! http://ouryoungshootchloe.blogspot.com/2010/01/chloes-nicu-video.html You will have to download Active X probably before watching it... My friend Ann said that she couldn't see it with her Apple computer though :( So, she helped me with a spot that might work for Apple users... I will come back after I upload to there to give a link for that video! :)
