Decisions, Decisions... This may be a long one.

I continue to struggle about what to do with my job. I worked up the courage and tried to give my notice to my boss, and he said something along the lines of let's see where this goes... I am thinking, what?? I just tried to quit. Again, what?? My mom mentioned that maybe God wants me to stay where I am if that is the way the situation played out. Geeze, I need to pray more.

I was able to talk with another Army wife (who happens to be a Baylor Pi Phi -- doesn't get any better than that) who is in the exact same boat! Who would've thought? My friend is working from home at Ft. Hood but when her husband deploys in Sept, her office wants her to move back to NYC. Talking with her helped to put a few things in perspective. So, this is me venting...

Pros:

• The company I work for is so accommodating. It's a huge organization that has the resources to support long distance and the long term experience will look great on a resume.
• I could move home and save money while The Pilot is doing raising hell over there. Not to mention that I could still have a solid income too. $$
• I'd be close to my family!
• I would not have to kiss my flip-flops and Nike shorts goodbye :)
• It's safe. I tend to pick the safe options.

Cons:

• If I worked from home in AK, Lord knows it would take a miracle to get me out of the house in the winter. If I got a new job, I could get out of the house and meet people.
• If I moved back home, I would have to pack up and move our house into storage (The Pilot deserves a home that's put together) and get me and Monster back to TX.
• In HR, our busy time is open enrollment where I basically travel for Oct/Nov. I mentioned that since The Pilot would getting ready to leave for Iraq, I wouldn't travel... I don't think that is fair to my co-workers.
• What if The Pilot gets to come home early (for the good or the bad). I would feel awful if we (Riley and myself) did not have a place for him to come home to.
• If I stay in AK, I'll be close to other wives going through the same thing (FRG). Closer to the info about the unit.
• It's risky! I am not a risky person.

Just to name a few... So many other thoughts running through my head.
