I sit at a desk job all day long. All I can do lately is sit here and think that i am wasting my life away. I would love to be making cakes for a living, but cannot afford to quit (yet anyway). I get up every morning and leave my 2 kids at home; usually leaving my 2 year old crying "mommy, don't go to work" I really had no point in posting this except for today is especially bad and had to say it (or type it) out loud. Thanks for listening.
I completely understand! I too sit at a desk all day and hate every minute of it. Although I don't have any kids yet I do have a cat who cries every morning I leave 
, but I can image that being a very hard thing to leave you kids in the morning to go do something you hate. I have been trying to figure out how to get out of here and open up a shop but I too have the financial concerns. Some day!
Feeling Your Pain!

I hear you!! Me and two other CCers started our own cake club and I'm looking for a job while the other two are in the exact same situation as you (minus the kids though.) I remember reading an interview with Jerry Seinfeld a long time ago where he said he always took jobs he knew he would hate because it gave him incentive to make it in something he loved (comedy) and it would help him appreciate it more. I found his words to be very helpful in times like what you are facing. Cheer up sweetie, we're here for ya!!
HUGS for you!!! I feel the same way. I have a two year old, and although she loves her day care, I wish she and I could spend more time together. I hope that things get better for you. I've been trying to figure out lately too how to open up a small business for myself but can't find the time or money to really do it right.
Hope your day gets better. I agree though ~ sometimes Mondays just suck, lol!

OMG I feel exactly like you do ~ I'm at a desk all day, my son will be starting K this fall and I would love to be able to not send him to before or after care at school
Unfortunately I cannot quit my job DH construction work is way to unstable in the winter due to unpredictable weather. I would so love to be able to do cookies, cakes and cupcakes all day but financially just don't have the $$ to open any shop of my own ~ I DEFINITELY RELATE to how you feel!!
I feel for you, too. I hope we can all find a way to do more of what we love. It seems like such a shame not to. But you are a responsible person taking care of your little ones, so try to remember that for now. Just don't lose sight of your dreams. Start doing some small thing now that will help you work toward your dreams down the road.
reese04 - keep your chin up. My kids are grown and for now I have to work too for the insurance. It just stinks more for you because you have little ones that don't understand yet, and just put you in a bummer mood to see their little faces cry. Someday things will turn around, until then you have to do what you need to do now. There will be better days in the future. Keep baking and don't give up, it always makes me feel better.
I am ending my 18 day vacation from work. I go back tomorrow. I have been so depressed today!!
I have done everything to keep from crying. My friend came and got me for lunch to help me feel better. Then I get home and back to reality. I am so happy when I am at home being a homemaker.
I hate the thought of going back to a job I don't care for. My children are older but I still have to leave them in the a.m. I feel your pain!!!!
Try to have a good week!!!
