It sounds like you are really looking for a big life transition. How about picking a few careers (similar or different than the one you have now) and shadow people in those fields...see if you like it?

I do think it sounds very fulfilling to be a stay-at-home mom. There really isn't any job as fulfilling as that.

@kansas mom — hmm… a full-time work from home position with 5 weeks of vacation. I can see why you’re sticking with your job for the time being. It’s good that you’re thinking through your priorities and making a plan for your transition after the birth of your next child.

@rachel — I’ve certainly tried to make the job more interesting. So far, I haven’t had much luck on that one.

You could always try to look at your job from a different perspective. See if you can do the job in a different way or make it more interesting if you can.

I know what you mean about priorities. My current job has some interesting challenges, but mostly it’s just annoying challenges (politics, etc.). I’ve stuck with them for over 6 years, though, because I get (seriously) 5 weeks vacation. That’s not including holidays, though it does include my “sick days”. Still, no one can match that. Plus, I work from home full-time, which is wonderful.

All that being said, I’m hoping to stay home with my kids when baby #3 is born in July. I’ll probably work part-time for a while to help transition. (I have a job with a steep learning curve.) Then I’ll be able to focus on my family.
