“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Not quite there yet.

I officially am an "empty nester" - at least in the school age sense.  Both of my children are now in school and I've been left to ponder...

Whatever do I do with my time?!

You might be surprised to know....8 am to 12:30 pm is not as long as it sounds....

By the time I make it into town (say...Gresham) I have only a 2 hour window to accomplish one or two errands on a very long list - in order to make it back home and be there smiling for my baby as he steps off the bus!

So I've looked into:

*Finding a part time job.
*Voluteering.
*Substituting as a teacher's aide at the school.
*Substituting in a daycare facility.

Just to be productive.

However....it's been much harder than I thought to find something that I know I'll enjoy 24/7 - errr - I mean 4/5 (four hours, five days a week...).

The hunt continues....
