Well, I'm kind of bored, kind of confused, and a lot undecided. I have things I need to do, but just as soon as I start any of those tasks, the girls will be up in my business and make it impossible to get anything done. Right now, they're content watching Madagascar while I sit here and type.
I'm trying to decide what to do. I went to ISU yesterday to get some info on taking the GRE and any possible assistantships (none available at the moment, but maybe next fall). As I was there, I stopped by the Craft Shop and talked to Phil. He said if I came back to ISU, he'd have a job for me no problem. Then Shelly called today and said Phil would really love to hire me, and all I'd have to do is sign up for one class. The problem is, classes started yesterday. It's kind of late because I'd still need to apply for admission and get my financial aid transfered from TAMUCC to ISU. I just don't think there's time for that. Plus, I'd have to find a sitter for the kids. However, I just discovered a few one-credit, online courses that don't start until March 9th. That could work. I could go back to Corpus long enough to sell my piano and a few other things, hopefully get my tax return, and use some of my return to rent a u-haul and move up here by March or April. And if I'm on campus working, I'll be able to get to know some of the professors and have a better chance of getting an assistantship.
However, I know that I can get an assistantship in Texas at my old job. As much as I love Texas and do not love Idaho's climate, I'm thinking that it would probably be better for the girls here in Idaho because I have a lot more family that can watch them when I'm busy with work or classes, whereas in Texas, they'll be in daycare or with a sitter that I don't know very well most of the time.
I'm just not sure. There are so many tough decisions to be made, and I simply don't know what to do.

That really is a tough choice, I wish I had an answer for you too, but I don't...so good luck, just trust your motherly instincts :)
i hear ya with the tough decision making. i'm in the middle of all those too. i second lindsy on the maternal instincts. and staying by family as almost always a good idea.
It is a tough decision for sure. There is nothing that beats family though! (See my blog)
Sounds like a tough choice, but staying by family is huge when you have little kids. I am always needing help from my mom for doctors appointments and everything else. I would love to get together some time. We should go to lunch or something when you have a second.
