I don't know what means you're using to decide, but I've used something called the Ignatius method of discernment countless times and recommend it to everyone. I blogged about it once, so instead of rewriting...here it is: http://pastoradeb.blogspot.com/2007/02/discernment.html<BR/><BR/>it's a silly example there, but I've used it to chose schools, work, dates, etc....maybe it could be helpful for you. <BR/><BR/>obviously the time frame thing won't work, but do what you can with it.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351832671251015384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182336104132773067.post-41412803358826587912007-11-10T15:35:00.000-06:002007-11-10T15:35:00.000-06:00Right!

I love when people attempt to be discreet. Cracks me up.<BR/><BR/>joy - I know! I appreciate you taking offense on my behalf! You are officially the sweetest ever. And, yes, I did post about plastic plates. It's under the shopping category. The link to the post about the plates I found is:<BR/><A HREF="http://ahappiergirl.blogspot.com/2007/05/ikea-sells-plates-that-are-microwave.html" REL="nofollow">http://ahappiergirl.blogspot.com/2007/05/ikea-sells-plates-that-are-microwave.html</A><BR/>We're still using our Ikea plates my mother in law gave us as well as a bunch of Wal-Mart ones she gave us that are exactly like our old ones. They work great and have been holding up well. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Laura - Thanks. Job stuff is hard. The snowball is still rolling down the hill but I think I'll finalize my decision over the weekend. Not to mention finalize a plan to minimize looking pregnant to thoughtless coworkers.<BR/><BR/>caroline - Thanks!

That's not right. <BR/><BR/>My husband is in a similar situation at work. He is also being "politely advised" to take a higher position. He is really unsure and stressed. I think he should do it, although I know it's not for me to decide, and I don't want it to take him away from us more than he already is. We really like having him around! <BR/><BR/>This is a hard one...I (sort of) know where you're coming from.no wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413525825980853372noreply@blogger.com
