A Serious Dilemma from The Eternal Dilemma

March 19, 2008

How come after I blog about something, something happens that changes everything I said? Remember this? Looks like I have an opportunity to go back to contracting.

Robbin asks what do you plan on doing when Michael is ready for school? Will you go back to work full-time? Get involved in other outside activities? This is such a good question and one I do not have an answer for. When I was pregnant, we always assumed I would work full time. Not [...]
