And back again...

If you've been keeping up (or trying, at least!), I keep going back and forth about work. Go back to school? Change careers? Well, I've been thinking a lot about it the past few days. And after thinking, talking with friends, and mulling over all the awesome comments you guys have given, I think I have come to a decision. I'm pretty confident in this decision and think I'll stick with it.

So, what is it??

I am NOT going to go back to school OR change careers.

I had so much to contemplate, and after putting it all together this is what I came up with:

a) I have a pretty safe job right now and my bosses think I'm a great asset
b) It would be WAAAAAAAY too hard for me AND John to both be in school while also starting a family
c) I've been at my job for 3 years and have already been promoted twice. If I changed careers, I'd have to start all over, at the bottom, somewhere else.
d) I'm making good money at my current job, and starting over I might not be able to make the same

So, basically, I'm going to suck it, stick with my job and hope for the best. I even went in to work today to catch up on some projects! Over-achiever, right?? :o) No, not really...I felt bad for being so behind since I've been wasting so much time at work lately. I REALLY need to catch up.

It feels good to have a plan though. I mean, even being at work on a Saturday, I felt good. Like I made the right choice. I was where I was supposed to be.

Wish me luck!!

Good luck! Its hard working out what to do but feels good when you decide as you have that pressure off you.
