Dilema

Do I want a job where I travel 50% of the time? I loved it when I was single. I hated it when I was married. If I'm going to do it, now is the time in my career to do it. It would likely be a re-locate plus 50% travel. It would probably mean I would need to find a new home for Miner. Having field experience would open a lot more doors for me. And it would mean working more closely with our dealers - which I love. But I like my little house, and I love my dog. And, I don't even know if it's a job that I'd be considered for...it's just a maybe. Grrrr....I think I am a home-body, but if it weren't for the damn dog, I'd be all over it like white on rice. Shit.

I guess it just depends on what your priorities are right now. If I didn't have Anthony, I'd take off in a heartbeat, to be somewhere in Asia or Europe, making a lot more money. But with him, I'm stuck.

I don't regret having him, at all, but as a mom, I can't do what you, as a single lady, can. Will it make your career way more interesting and enjoyable? Will it open doors? Is all of that worth giving the dog up? Would David take the dog?

I don't envy having to make your choice but I do wish I had the opportunity to do some of the things that you get to do. Good luck with the choice.

Get that pros and cons list going...just the starter version...see if that helps you know if it is time or if now is not the best...

that's what my sponsor said, mom...make a list. Working on it tomorrow. I go talk to the guy on Wednesday...that's when I'll really know if it's even a possibility.

this a,
once you sit down and do a pro & con list, it'll start making it clear. if it doesn't, talking to the guy wednesday will make it clear if it's something YOU want. that's the most important thing to consider right now. plus, if you travel, you'll rack up lots of frequent flyer miles to come visit us and go to disneyland! teehee :)
