sanity vs. prosperity

Help!  I simply cannot decide what to do.. I really, really, really am considering asking for my Wyndham Lawn job back.  Like seriously contemplating calling on Monday, hopefully before they actually hire anyone else to take the job.

I am not comfortable in my job in buffalo, nor do i feel that i can really succeed and make a difference there.  I believe i was making a difference at Wyndham.  I was good at my job there,  really good with the kids.  I know that if i went back there using all the tools and professional development that i’ve gotten in Buffalo, that I could do an outstanding job.  In Buffalo, in this school building, i feel that nothing i do will ever be good enough.  And i, as a major seeker of approval and hater of being "in trouble" am having a huge problem with this.

If i do go back to Wyndham, there are some major drawbacks.. I would lose seniority and NEED to work this summer, I wouldn’t have health insurance for 90 days.. boo!!, I would be out of the NYS teachers retirement system, and I would have to pay for my health insurance.. 

but even with all that, I would have my sanity, I would be able to work and come home and BE with my girls.. not work more.  I would be able to do a great job there and actually be appreciated for it.

It’s a really hard decision to make.. i don’t know what to do, but right now i’m stressed out and working all the damn time!  and i don’t like it.. I actually don’t know if i could get my old job back, but i’m really beginning to think it’s worth a try.

Call and see what they say. If they say no then the decision has been made for you!

ugh!!!I so know that feeling. Right now I’m not enjoying my new clinic site but its a temporary thing. I know I would probably go crawling back to the 1st place for my own sanity as I know I would screw up if I was somewhere I was uncomfortable being around BUt that’s me. ((HUGS))!
