...and not even realize you had wanted it in the first place?
I love my job. I have to stress that - I love my job. I love being a graphic designer. I have the flexibility to come and go, I've accrued a ton of vacation time, I love the people I work with. I've been her for 14 years. I love it all.
Then I was on the website for my kids' school today looking for an email for a teacher and I glanced at the employment tab. I like to check it out every once in a while to see who's coming and going. It's a small school so I like to keep up on that stuff.
Well, there's an opening for an elementary librarian. Totally different from what I'm doing now, but the qualifications are: 2 years of college and the ability to learn. Wow. 190 school days, the same salary I'm making now (as their minimum starting salary) and the chance to be at the school all day, off on snow days, vacations, summers... So I emailed my application and resume. I also emailed the superintendent directly. Marc and I won a volunteer award this summer for the things we'd done at school last year, so he knows us. And Marc announces the sporting events.
Does it sound like I have a shot? It gives me butterflies to think that I actually want this. I wasn't looking for it, I had no plans of job hunting, but I found this.

sounds great!
same money? go for it. i recently applied for a position at a neighboring school district for the exact time off as my kids.
Sounds like the position is made for you, imagine the time you can spend on your new cake business, and your family.
Best of luck, and remember this may be a gift from God that you didn't know you wanted.
