Day off...I don't think so

So today is my day off and I have a relaxing day planned of cooking,laundry,cleaning and my very favorite thing in the world...being teacher to my son so maybe he can finish his online summer school before the regular school year begins.  I promised him I would work with him today and we would spend the day just doing assignments.  Will be a test of my patience and of my ability to stay focused since we all know around here he gets his short attention span from me.  This would be my morning wake up post I guess.  There is a gnawing little issue bugging me too.  Recently I reached an anniversary of sorts at work and received a little recognition for that but it brought up the subject with my husband of complacency.  I do really enjoy certain aspects of my job.  Most aspects.  The parts I don't like are the ones that involve dealing with the high school drama of my coworkers.  The work itself is challenging.  The people suck.  Well the possibility of my moving up a rung on the corporate ladder has been discussed a few times at work with various managers and I am flattered but I am not interested.  I am not afraid.  I know I am qualified and I could take on the next position and even excel at it.  But I don't want it.  Moving to that next level means leaving behind the part of my job I really love and assuming more of the parts I do not like.  It's the equivalent of going from being a teacher in a classroom where you love the interacting with your students to being an administrator and losing that and getting caught up in the non teaching part of the system.  I am happy where I am right now.  Husband says I am being complacent and holding myself back out of fear or whatever other reason I have.  I told him I am offended by that.  In my mind complacency equals laziness.  Something I dare anyone to accuse me of.  Do I want to be doing the job I am doing now ten years from now...probably not.  This is the longest I have stayed at any one job but I know if I were to walk away from it I could do it with no regrets.  In all honesty I would rather be making my jewelry or painting or writing or blowing glass even.  This is not the road I planned on but when you make life decisions by the seat of your pants you cannot really complain when you end up somewhere different.  Too bad I don't really drink I could use one about now.  The sky opened up this morning and the rain was awesome then it just stopped.  Now the sky is grey and everything is soaked and I want it to keep raining all day.  Making a kickass squach soup for lunch today. One of the few creative outlets I have left that is completely encouraged by my family.  It sounds completely aweful but I can understand those women that take off and run away in the middle of the night.  Escape that's a good word.  There isn't a day that I am driving home from work that I don't consider going straight instead of turning left on the road that brings me home.  There are places and people I would go visit from my past or new ones to explore but I do always make the right decision in the end and return home.  Not saying abandoning your family is right but I understand the urge.  Okay enough of that talk it's time to put on my teacher glasses and grab my ruler.
