When I grow up

Unlike most teens I was pretty sure of what I wanted to do and where I was going after school.

I was heading straight to an Economics degree and by hook or by crook I was going to be working in a big firm, a high rise building, I would be wearing swanky suits and life would be bliss.

Tick.

So it was that I found myself living that life in my twenties. I loved it. Then I got bored. Even in the more creative marketing departments, the finance industry got boring.

I get bored easily and enjoy moving on to new things.

Right now I am bored again.

But this time I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up and this time I have responsibilities to other people. I have little people who I want to have the best education I can give them, I have a house with a mortgage that needs paying. I have a husband who has a career too.

I am a restless sort at the best of times, this year I have been even more restless and part of the problem is just not knowing what my own answer is. I am pretty good at working towards a goal. But what do you do when you don't know what the goal is, only that you want one?

Travel is not the solution, but it certainly doesn't hurt. So this summer time we are leaving the city behind for the entire school holidays. Packing up the car and the dog and heading west.

We'll be moving to the country and eating a lot of yabbies, who knows, by the end of our trip, I might even turn myself into a runner and complete the track in the youtube clip above!
