What do I want

Sitting here this morning, finishing up a lab presentation, waiting for the nanny to wake up, and watching my son play in his new "Jumperoo", the thought entered my mind -- what do I want? It's something I keep asking myself as I try to figure out how to balance this mom/work thing, define my career, and find time for all the many many many creative outlets I wish to pursue. In some ways I am procrastination incarnate, and in other ways I am like a top, spinning and spinning, with only some semblance of direction. I have a PhD, yes, I am working in a field I love, yes, but I'm not really happy with my exact job. I have ideas of what I want to be "when I grow up" but I'm 32 -- isn't it about time? When do career, life, and happiness all merge? What do I want?
