These two are my life. So, when I think about going back to work I'm torn. And, it makes my stomach hurt. My husband has the impression that I can do it all. I can have a job that challenges me intellectuality, makes a lot of money and allows me the flexibility to be there for the kids (not needing child care). I ask you, does a job like this exist?? If so, wouldn't we all want it?? I am trying. I apply for jobs and interview. So far I haven't had an offer, but I wonder if I get one will I turn it down? I'm so fearful. Is it the right thing for me? For the kids? For our family? I do feel a financial responsibility and a need to contribute to our family. Let's face it, College isn't cheap. Retirement isn't cheap. LIFE isn't cheap. (Did I mention I want a pool in the backyard and a finished basement and fantastic vacations and an Audi??) I guess in the end the right position and the "right" thing to do will find me. I will trust in this vast universe of ours. Find me perfect job! I'm right here waiting for you!
