Be careful what you wish for...

... it could come true and BIGGER than you thought.
I've been not so secretly hoping to do something. Something besides being a mom. Don't get me wrong, being a mom is super, very rewarding. But part of me want to feel useful, successful in other aspects. The weeding planner part of me was on a break, in part because of my friend's/partner pregnancy and part because of the economy. That Bitch! The economy, that is. We are getting ready to start again, with a new website and a booth at the next Bridal Expo, which is huge.

Then my father made me a proposal: try to make the family business a success. Aka, get it out of debt and possibly take over it while he goes to pursue a dream of his. Part of me always felt like this might be a role I would play. I didn't necessarily expect the opportunity to come right now. But then, it IS a challenge I want to take. I used to work with him until life conspired and made other plans for me. And here I am, back on board. Or at least that's what I am hoping. I know it's been a while since I did anything related to the business but it still pisses me that I can't remember any password or user id, to anything! Damn!

At the end of May we celebrate a yearly summer camp, something like that, for an organization I volunteer. I've been part of it for 6 years I think. I mostly work in the planning (duh!) and begging for money looking for funds and donations. Maybe in about 2 weeks we'll start meeting for this.

Soooooo... that's wedding planning, saving the family business, and helping the world, all this while being SuperMom! Damn I'm good! I'll better buy some wine, just in case.
