I don't have a dream job. My dream job for a long was to raise my girls. Be a stay at home mom. Then the pandemic hit and now it's so much harder than it used to be. The girls have become noise monsters and I have lost a whole lot of patience and motivation. I don't know what I want to do anymore. My oldest is going to 1st grade and my middle is going to pre-K. Leonie will be the only one left at home and I need to go back out there and try to make some friends so she can socialize. And I'm still so uncomfortable with all of that.
When she goes to school full time I'd like to take some time for myself. Join a gym maybe.
But as far as job I don't know! I have some ideas but nothing that screams "yay! This is it!". Opening a bakery maybe, or a sandwich or soup shop. I don't know if I have the entrepreneur in me though.
I also like organizing. I could see myself putting books back on the shelves in a library or files in a business. I don't know if that's even a job in itself.
I hate talking on the phone so I want no part of it in my job. And I don't like dealing with people. lol Picky? yes.

I don't like to deal with people either. Somehow, I love talking to people at school though. Go figure! I think it is the generalized 'people' I don't like. Kids though, I like kids and in turn, I like their parents most of the time!
When I was little I wanted to be a mom. That's all I ever wanted. I remember we had to write a report on the career we wanted for future when I was in 6th grade. I said mom. My teacher said "that's not a career" and handed me a print out of information on child psychology.
I stayed home with my kids until my oldest went into 4th grade and my youngest into kindergarten. I didn't plan to go back to work then, but stumbled into a job (explained below). I'm kind of glad I stumbled into it the way I did because I was able to ease back into the workforce and never felt stressed about it like I would have if I would have had to decide what I wanted to do.
