What the heart wants....

Hmm...sometimes I have to wonder, what DOES my heart want?
For 7mos we've lived here; a huge jump from the only home and town we've ever known (well the kids and I at least). Then in one week we found a home to rent/own finally and at the same time, I get interviewed for a job I would love to have....in Florida! Not having worked outside of the home in about 12yrs, (save for a couple of short term temp assignments along the way), I have faced much difficulty re-entering the work force. Afterall, what do I know how to do besides raise children? LOL Moms understand how foolish THAT is! We ONLY manage a household, organize, schedule, transport and every other thing that the family needs. Oh I forgot, that's not WORK. Riiiiiiggghhhhtt. Whatever.

Anyway, for the first time in all these years I was actually ASKED to interview for a job as recreation director for an exclusive membership only rv park. I would love to have the job and I know that I could do it well. It would put my family closer to my dad who we all miss so much. As well as his fiancee who they are looking forward to meeting, their cat and dog who they keep seeing photos of and the POOL! If I hear one more time that they want to swim in Papa's pool..... LOL And it would be near Disney which my children long to see. My family has no issues with moving down there. Daddy would stay home during the day with the kids; something he's wanted for so long. He would work nights while I work days; no sitters needed.

What's the flip side? If the job is offered to me, do I really want to move my family AGAIN? And so soon? Is it better to make due where we are? Can we really leave my best friend after trekking all this way out here with her? She only returned here on the condition that we agreed to come too and that took us years. How would this change things? Or would it?

Tonight we are to get the keys to our new house. Today I'm also supposed to find out if the job is being offered to me. In theory, I should know about the job first given that it's a 2hr time difference.

So....what DOES the heart want?
