Education?

I'm sitting here, somewhat jealous of all the people in school or on summer break.  It's got me interested in working towards a degree.  I've always wanted to do Culinary arts, but with everything else going on right now, I probably need something I can do online.  The other problem is that with a culinary degree, am I getting myself into something that is going to take a tremendous amount of time away from my kids?  My end goal is to own my own restaurant, but I also want to be there for all the little moments with my kids along the way and don't want to miss anything.  I'm thinking about getting a business degree and then maybe getting the culinary part later.  I'm so torn and confused.  Why does being an adult have to be so difficult? I guess I should maybe wait until the spring or so before I start adding more to my plate and for now focus on my We Live to Know, Love, and Serve God online course and then my RCIA classes starting in August.

My best friend is in culinary school right now and it takes up a huge amount of time. Kitchen labs can be up to 5 hours at a time, but it's incredibly rewarding and fun from what I've seen. It's a tough call.

Culinary arts is hard with a family, because of the hours you'd have to work (the dinner rush!).

I feel you: I'd love to have a Master's degree, but I know I wouldn't actually USE it, so I don't want to pay for it. I just read a ridiculous amount instead.

You two are so right. I think I may wait until the kids are older to go back to school for culinary arts and just cook for fun until then. Maybe I'll get my business degree so I'll be a little closer to what I want in the long run.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
