Conundrum

I wrote previously about a potential work opportunity. After being at home full-time for nearly 16 years, it would be quite a change. I've oscillated back and forth about what to do. I thought it was out of my hands as I hadn't heard anything for awhile. I honestly hoped they had went with the other candidate.
Today I received another message asking if I was interested.
Lately, I've been feeling the financial burn, the struggle, the stress. Working full-time, doubling our salaries would be such a wonderful thing.
However, I think of all that I would lose.
I wish I could find something just like this opportunity, but part-time instead of full. I don't think I'm ready for that jump back into full-time.
I liked it better when I thought it was completely out of my hands.

Thank you. Once again, I've given up "the dream," and passed on the job. So here I am broke. :-)

@jillybean1222 Having no choice is sometimes easier.

You will have to find a part time thing then Jilly.
It is great that they are contacting you though.
There were many jobs in the past I did not want that I got.

Firstly i guess its a sign that you have contributed enough for others and its time you do some self caring and nurturing as well . I am sure you are feeling as if it would have been better to have a mixture of the life before getting this job and also working as well . But at-least step up for this golden chance acknowledging the fact - that the person there wants "You " and feels that nobody can do the assigned work better than you . Hence he has chosen you above all !!
Please don't miss this chance and let yourself accept this challenge !! All the best !!
