I've been doing a lot of thinking this week and I'm no closer to a decision than I was a few days ago. This blog has been my journal, a collection of my feelings and experiences, but it is not the place for me to write about everything. The problem is that writing helps me think. I'll have to grab a tablet of paper and pencil and go old school on this one. I need to organize my thoughts and see them in black and white because this swirling gray is driving me crazy.There are two other things that help me think...talking with friends and baking. We're spending the day with Linda's family today so last night I whipped up a killer chocolate chip cheesecake. The kids are excited about seeing Andrew and Bug again and I'm really looking forward to some time with Linda...and cheesecake.
Katie and Clayton are taking the kids on a cave exploring adventure tomorrow so Mike and I are working on a day-without-kids-to-do-list. (I think Mike's list might have an adult rating but mine is definitely G rated!) We had planned to go camping this weekend but because I spent most of the week pacing, not planning, we will be staying home. That's OK, maybe we'll finally get the hallway and trim in Ben's room painted and the windows cleaned. Scrubbing windows sounds strangely therapeutic right now.

Why don't you have a second private blog? That way you'll have a private record of all those things that are not appropriate for a public forum.
Good Luck!
Two things come to mind when I look at the picture you posted:
"Two roads diverged in an wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by; and that has made all the difference." Robert Frost
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Prov. 3:5&6.
I guess I'm saying put your trust in the Lord and then follow your heart, and He will make things happen that are right for you.
I vote for a day for you tomorrow doing something fun just for the two of you. Forget the chores and work stuff...just for a day.
I have some of the most wise and caring friends and family. Thanks, guys. You've helped tremendously.
I vote for the private blog, then nobody even in your family can see it. Then tomorrow do something FUN, with Mike. Even just a walk in a park or a lake.
Don`t think to hard on this one, just do what is best for you and your family. Everything will work out fine in the long run.
That's an award worthy photo!
