- Go to IS GRANNY GONNA GO OR WHAT??
Adnhor honestly I don't know, if one looks at it coldly, you will be smartened up by the virtue of the appointment. You will probably receive quite a bit of male attention, it might even lead to the L word. If that appears exciting, I would go for it. If you feel it will be too much of a strain and you feel contented, remembering that we all grow older. What you really need is a good kind man to share your life, but I guess that is a gamble these days. Ask your children try to imagine the two lives you could leave, if you were wealthy I would say no. sorry to be explicit, but whatever you decide will be the true answer. Good luck.

My gut feeling is telling you to take the job.

Well all I can say is, revel in the thought of being asked, ask for precisley DOUBLE of whatever they are offering! Then absolutley refuse it if they don't concur, and stay where you are happy with your doggies and family so meaningful to you.Think a little about the lonliness of hotel/motel living and the terrible fatigue of airline travel, searches and terrorism. We love you and care about you.

I'm so glad that you have this opportunity and that it has given you a jar. No matter what you decide, it is so good to know that someone thinks that you are THE PERSON for the job that they want done.

If the universe is offering cake, why would you settle for crumbs?

I know it's a tough situation but when you get through your pros and cons you will know what to do! My gut says, just go for it because it's a once in a life time situation but only you can determine what is best for you! Now, if you do take this job you will need to help me out with a phone that can text anywhere you are so that I can keep your posted on hockey! lol There's always streaming so I know you can get your hockey games! And what the puck, no George?! lol sam

adnohr...
The fact it was offered to you is HUGE these days, the only offer I've had lately is when someone opens the door after yet another unproductive contact.
I'm sure there will be new pressures, but think of the pressures you can tade in, so to speak.
The fact that you slept well tell a lot, at least from my vantage. Good luck!

Personally I think you have only one thing standing against you. Do you want this? No absolutely you are not to old. You are only now of an age to fully appreciate, handle and connect your self to a job with the totality that makes the job both an achievement and a joy. It is a clear matter of DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS JOB? The babies could be boarded. You could have a trusted house sitter (live in help). That live in help could take care of babies, keep clothes at ready, do all those things you no longer have the time for. It still comes back to how much do you want it? Be blessed with the perfect answer dear one.

This is exciting! To begin with, forget 'old' - just forget it, okay? It's so stupid a reason that it's no reason at all! Next: You have what it takes - you have the qualifications, and you know it. And I know, as you do, that you're absolutely trustworthy, which is another one of the things they're looking for. And snakes? Don't be silly...LOL
To be quite honest, the only impediment that I could see are the doggies, which are very important, but I'm sure that there are members of your extended family who would help you solve that problem by taking care of them temporarily, or even taking them in for a while when necessary...

Wow a tough decision ...one you need to make and then tell the family
and that you need their advice.
This could solve a few dilemas
1. boring I know....but enough money to pay the bills and to eventually retire on.
2. Adventure, a chance to end your work life on a BANG !!!!! nice type of bang like fireworks is what I mean.
3. being too busy to think for a few years would keep you young and help with the grieving.
4. You deserve it.
5. You will still find time for friends and blogit.
6. how come you could sleep for 8 hours, could it be because this would remove stress on many levels?
& 7. I have a feeling that someone in the family will help out with your clients and the doggies while you are away!!!
waiting for more .............
