Everything! I want to do more of everything. Except, possibly, work. I want to work out more, I want to play with my son more, I want to participate in my hobbies more. I want to really redo my home, I want to help others in some way. I want to go back to school.
I guess what I don't want is to lose myself entirely to my family. I see it so much in older generations. My mother, my grandmother. Women I work with. They all have hobbies, things they love. They stop all those things until their children are grown and out of the house. When grandchildren come, they give themselves up all over again to help take care of the grandchildren. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to my mother and father that they help watch my son while I work. I just know that my mom almost didn't take a class she wanted to take at the university this fall because she thought it would be hard for me to get childcare for my son. I want her to know that she should go for what she wants - she can do it! She's so amazing at all of this, and this course will help her.
I admire her, but I wish she had been able to do all these things earlier in her life. I wish she had pursued it when my sister and I were small. I don't want to wait forever to do what I dream of doing. I want to go back to school a little bit, and I want to start my own home based business. I don't know if I will ever be able to, but it is my dream.
