I have just been offered an incredible position in and incredible hospital...
Some may even call it...a life time opportunity...
Truth is....it really is...
But with the opportunity comes a life change....
A huge life change and much less time for me to be with the children..
I will have to juggle their lives around and sort out alternate care for before school (some days) and vacation care (Most times)....
It is going to be a huge juggling act...
I guess if it is meant to be it will fall into place...
Wont it?

Yep. If it is meant to be you will be able to figure it all out pretty easily - although the follow through may not always be the easiest plan, the details should themselves fall in to place.
Good luck, and I hope this works out to the happiest result!!!!!
I kinda think a little differently...
My thought is that if it's something that you want bad enough...you'll make it work but on the other hand...if it's not something you "should be" doing then there will probably be a feeling of uneasiness that you just can't shake. Just my opinion...
On another note...CONGRATULATIONS for being found worthy AND offered such a fantastic position!! That's awesome and has to feel pretty darn good!! Yay for you!!
Congratulations and Good Luck if you decide to take the position. Everything happens for a reason!
Congrats! You'll have to juggle, but I'm sure you'll find a way to spend quality time together.
Que sera, sera - one of my favourite combinations of words, and one that I'm finally starting to accept myself. Whatever will be, will be.
You're right - if it's meant to happen, you will find a way.
And congratulations! There's nothing quite like a feeling of recognition like that, is there?
And...I miss you! Yikes! Hope you've been keeping well :)
It is time to rally the troops and have a family meeting. When I was offered my new position I did that to make clear what was involved as far as --mom won't be here to wipe your butt ALL DAY LONG anymore (mind you they are 19,18, and 13 but surprisingly still need an enourmous amount of attention...they are male after all.)
What does the big picture look like? Will it help the family out of any financial bind? Is it going to be a good move that may not be there when the kids are older and you are ready to change? Are the kids willing to pull more of the load of chores at home so when you are there you aren't still "working"?
Mostly it boils down to your gut. If you think that it is a good opportunity and won't create negative havoc on the family...then go for it. If you keep having that nagging tug at your stomach and it just doesn't feel right to make the change, then don't but make sure you don't regret either decision or you will be resentful and miserable and NOBODY wants a mom like that :)
Sorry,,,didn't mean to write a novel!
congratulations!
here are a couple suggestions:
Hire a maid, so the cleaning isn't an issue and you can spend more time w/ the kiddos....
make ahead meals or eat out more
I guess all you can do is try to make it work out for everyone and if it doesn't - then try to find something that does. exciting! I say go for it!
Huge Congrats on the opportunity anyhow. Even if you do nothing with it - it is incredible to be asked!
Dodi..
Thanks...I sure hope it all works out...a few of us are starting at the same time and we are all in the same boat !
xoxo
Logziella

Am feeling pretty special about now !...LOL
WOW - Congratulations SIS! I guess you can feel great about it which every way it turns out. I like those dilemas!
That is fantastic... Congratulamalations....
I say go for it! Since you've all had the discussion and your all happy about it it will work out just fine... Adjusting is something that is a part of life.... It won't be easy to pick up and move your whole life around but I reckon it will be worth it..
Change can be a good thing...
You've worked hard for this and you deserve it... Enjoy your moment to shine in the light and enjoy this adventure that is ahead of you...
Does it mean moving nearer to me? I would love to meet you in person some day... and I do seem to get sick a lot lately..lol...

Yes...we will have to met...I have family in Melbourne so normally fly down quite a bit....maybe we could arrange to met...I'm sure Bugsy would be in as well...

Congratulations!!!
I'm sure it will all work out. It sounds like a great opportunity. It's a hard juggling act but you have to remember that the happier you are with your own life the happier your family will be with theirs!
Good Luck and Congratulations again!
I agree... if it's meant to be everything will fall into place:) I'm with whoever mentioned hiring a maid! When I had my first child and new that I would be going back to work full time I hired a cleaning lady to come every other week. She keeps up with the basic cleaning. It's been 5 years since I cleaned the bathroom:) What a liberating experience!
Anyway... everything happens for a reason. These things always get your mind a churning and lets you know what your true desires are. Good luck!
Congrats too! I know you will work it all out:) xoxo, erin
Thanks Krista...that is so true....x
Kenady....Thanks..I am thinking that a cleaner may not be such a bad idea....infact I know a really good one.....
5 years since you have cleaned a bathroom...sounds really good to me LMAO...
Sounds great to me... Let me know in advance.... It would be great to finally meet Bugsy too....
Luv Lesley
