I Wish I Had Some Purpose

Okay! So this is my first blog post. I'm a little nervous. Not sure what to say, but I'm going for it. My name is Bethany. I have a husband, two boys, and dog. We live in Canada, but only because my husband is on a work assignment. Sometimes I miss the States soooo much.
So I'm starting this blog because I've been in this fog lately. You ever have a feeling like you have no purpose? You're not sure where you're supposed to be, or what you're supposed to be doing? I have a feeling I'm not the only one. Right now I'm a stay at home mom. However, both my children are in school full-time. So I have everyday to sit with my thoughts and drive myself crazy thinking, "what are you doing? why don't you have a job? this is freaking boring!"
I used to teach special education. I loved it. Really. But, due to circumstances I won't get into, I don't teach anymore. So, what else can I do with my life? Well, I've been sewing and quilting for 25 years. That's good, right? Wrong! Where can you get a job quilting? Nowhere, that's where! Believe me, I've looked!
So, that's why I'm starting this blog. To share my projects, my frustrations, my ideas, my "woe is me" rants, and much more. Come along for the ride......sounds fun, right? One can only hope.
I wish I had some purpose. If the Lion can find courage, and the Tin Man a heart, and the Scarecrow a brain, well, then, Bethany can find some purpose!
