Confused?

Have you ever felt like something was the right thing to do? You thought that it was really the only option and then you sat down to ponder that thought, you gave it a little more thought, and all of a sudden you were confused?

I have!

As a matter of fact, I recently had this problem, and it wasn’t just about what shoes to wear either, it was huge (at least for me it was.)

What was the thought?
We had been contemplating selling our home and moving about 30 minutes away. You see, all of our family is about 30 minutes from us. All of our friends are about 30 minutes from us. We found a nice private school that the boys could attend and we thought we had it all figured out.

So what happened?

I started to give it more thought. I started to think about sports. Would my boys be ok if they can’t play sports through the school? Of course, they would be able to play soccer and baseball through the Rec. department, but what if one of them wanted to play football?

And then I started to think about the cost of the school. Would we be able to afford a new house AND schooling?

Last but not least, came the friends.  Is it fair for us to pull the boys away from their friends.

Now I know that sounds like a lot of cons, but there are a lot of pros to moving as well. The boys would have a good education/more one on one, and I’m sure they would make new friends. We would be closer to family, we could purchase a property with land for the boys to run on. I would be volunteering in the school, so I would be more involved in their schooling.

But then there are all of those Cons that just keep creeping back up.

What do the boys think?

They are ready for an adventure. They say they can keep in touch with friends and that they want to move closer to family and have more land. They aren’t afraid, so why am I?

I believe I’m more afraid of change and the unknown. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to go when we move, so I worry about it. One day I’m all for moving and start packing and the next day I’m scared and start questionging my decisions.

What about you? Has there ever been a time when you just felt really confused?

We want to know!
