What Should I Do?

OK so have you ever had one of those times where you wondered

 what your purpose was in life?

  Well not too long ago I was having those thoughts.

The kids had all gone back to school.

  I would work 2 days a week, do the laundry,

 run my errands, clean the house and then I felt I had a lot

 of time to do whatever.  The whatever I was choosing to was

 to go to the mall way to often or Target

 or other shopping places.  Not that I was buying things 

every time I went.  I was basically just killing time.

  I knew I needed to do something a little more productive

 and use my time more wisely.

  Should I go to school? But what do I want to be?

 How about decorating school?  Where do you go for that?

  I like to decorate and paint and do projects around the house.

  About that time the hurricanes hit in Texas

 and I wondered if I could volunteer for the Red Cross and go there.

  I could have left my family for a week to do something like that.

  They could survive without me.

   Well I never got quite that far.

   That is when Ashley and Kash came back to live with us.

  So I guess that was the answer to my question.

  I must be needed at home more than I realized.

  It has been a good thing to have them with us.

  Ash and I have spent a lot of time together 

and that has really helped our relationship and I've been

 able to help her with Kash.

  I guess you don't have to go hundreds of miles away to be helpful to others.

  Sometimes its right in our own homes that we are needed the most.

  Oh the Red Cross idea is still in the back of my mind.

  I guess there will be a time and a place for that adventure-anyone want to come with  me?
