Something more.....

Do you ever feel that there is something more to you.....but you cant turn the key? Perhaps you lost the key?  Or you keep stumbling and fumbling with the key? I love  being a Mom and everything that goes with it...well most times...but there are times that I kick myself and ask myself "why didn't I do that?"

Putting Motherhood aside, I love to find bargains and fix them up. Right now I am having a love affair with Kijiji(don't worry, my Hubby knows...much to his chagrin). I love the thrill and excitement at finding something that I know I can fix up and add to our HOME. AND the most I paid for something was $60. Just recently, I have my eye on an antique coffee table for $15(perhaps I shouldn't mention this, I don't want YOU taking it from me). It excites me that I might be able to claim it on Monday. With all this searching...I recently watched an episode of "Picker Sisters"...basically they are driving through the States, finding bargains and turning them around into great pieces to sell.
NOW, why didn't I think of that!? I almost thought of starting a site, "how to furnish a HOME through Kijiji"!

Secondly, I love baking/cooking....mostly it is all done for my family and some friends. I sooo enjoy it when someone tells me "wow...that's great!!" My husband and I even tossed about moving to PEI and setting up a B&B. Perhaps we will do that....when the kids grow up and leave us(they do leave, don't they??)  I try new things, write things down and collect cookbooks from my favourite chefs.  It makes me happy to bake something, especially after a rough day...there is nothing better than something chocolaty baking away, aromas drifting through our home.........

So...with finding gems and baking/cooking..and obviously writing.....why cant I find my niche? Perhaps I haven't tried enough? Or hard enough? What about you? Have you found your place? Your joy? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a MOMMY...but don't you yearn for something more at times?? Something for YOU!?

PS. Once I wrote a story...I didn't like it, I tossed it! A year later, Peoples Jewellery came out with a ring with THREE DIAMONDS(past/present/future), I wrote that in my story that I THREW OUT....just saying......
