Why grow up? 
(To quote our favorite Obi-Wan, "that's why I'm here." On this site.. that is.... to not grow up )
You know, my mom asked me a couple of months ago if I regretted changing from art, and I said "probably". So I find no fault with "following your heart" -- it's how God has gifted you.
But I understand about the "marketable skills". I never expected to work in an office -- I thought I was too ditsy and naive when I was younger, but I wound up being the breadwinner for a number of years after the family business closed.
There's some book about "30 Days to the Work You Love" or something like that -- Dave Ramsey the financial guy talks about it. (I'll see if I can find it.) With all of your talents, there is something that is right for you that you can develop as a profession, degree or not!
Besides, being "Mom" is a very important job and the one with the most far-reaching impact.
