Should they go to public or private school?
Am I letting them watch too much t.v.?
How is my discipline techniques working?
Am I too strict?
In recent days my husband and I have been given a great opportunity. Two in fact. On any given day if either of these came about we would be jumping up and down with joy. Maybe even doing a happy dance.
But they didn't.
They came at the same time.
So now, we face the dilemma of which opportunity to pursue. How do we know which is best for our family? I have tried weighing the pros and cons, but they are ALMOST equal. We have tried talking with friends and family, but we know the responses are somewhat biased. I know that one of the opportunities may be more difficult in the beginning, but I also believe the pay off will be greater.
Since I am such a grown up, (ahem, yeah right) I can see through the clarity of hindsight that whenever I make a "rash" decision it almost always ends badly. At least in the short term, but then everything seems okay in the long term. I don't know if that is because I can always see the good in a situation or the fact that I might be too laid back. "No worries" is the mantra I live by.

I just don't want to screw things up for my kids. I want to give them every opportunity and adventure possible in life. I want to teach them the be fearless and open to anything because you never know what awaits you. I don't want to play it safe when it comes to my life; or theirs.
But how do you know which decision is the best?
