Dilemmas! Advice Needed!

It has been literally months since my last post...  So much time has passed I don't even know where to begin.
Well.... I'm now a Mommy and can honestly say there is nothing greater in this world.  I was convinced that as soon as I had Alayna I would have time to blog about my experience with labor.  Well when you become a Mom you soon realize it is hard to make time for these things, and well my labor was so horrific I thought I might frighten future Moms :)  My labor story will have to wait for another day.... But I'm sure when I write it heads will spin LOL. Posts about labor and the first few weeks/ months of Mommyhood to come soon!
Today I need some advice...
See I originally started this blog because I am a crazy busy girl that was becoming a Mommy, all while going back to school for nursing.  Well... things have changed... I'm still a busy Mommy- but no school.  After Alayna was born a few things happened that prevented me from continuing my education, and honestly I'm a little grateful.  Thank God I only took 3 classes instead of being in the middle of a nursing program!
Here is my dilemma....  I am that girl that is interested in EVERYTHING!  I'm like a younger Martha Stewart!  I garden, I write, I cook, I bake, I decorate, I design, I plan organize and plan some more- the list goes on!  Those who know me well know all this to be true.  I changed my major several times in college because of this dilemma and it is still haunting me.  When am I going to be all grown up with a career?  I fear that wont happen until I figure out what it is I really want to do....  Any thoughts for a girl who does it all?  I wish I could just list a job that I feel would make me happy, and then pursue whatever educational path it would take to obtain that career.  There is only one thing I do know- I know who I want to work for....
Second dilemma....  I truly feel in my heart of hearts that I wont feel fulfilled until I am once again a Disney Cast Member.  You see I was an intern for Disney twice and it was the most amazing time of my life (2nd to having my daughter).  There are no words that can describe the feeling of being "part of the magic".  For those of you who were lucky enough to work there you know what I mean- for those that haven't let me just say it is the most amazing feeling to know you are part of something that great.  The only way to possibly understand is to see the look on a child's face when they find out they are going to Disney for the first time- look on youtube- there are family videos that will bring you to tears.  Remember that Disney commercial- "I'm too excited to sleep"?  Yea its like that- and you know you are part of the reason they feel the way they do.  Standing watching the "Wishes" fireworks show in front of the castle gets me every time.  And not just because it is a great show- which by the way- its AMAZING.  It gets me because I look around at all the families and the kids- I see it bring a tear to someones eye and more importantly I listen to the words.  Not only are those words beautiful- you know Disney as a company truly believes in those words- if they didn't they would be just like every other entertainment company- but there is only one Disney!
So these are my dilemmas- I'm interested in everything and I wont rest until I am "part of the magic" again.  How I'll proceed from here- who knows....  If you have any thoughts please let me know- in the meantime I'm going to continue enjoying my family- which by the way- our little girl is 6 months old already!  6 weeks from now she will understand why her Mommy loves Disney so much- because she is getting her very first "My 1st visit" pin when we check in at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
