When you look back, are you going to have regrets that you didn't work enough to make alot of money or that you didn't spend more time with your kids?

You know that's not a fair question. You know it's my boys.

My problem is that most good jobs, if the economy was good so they were highering, are about an hour away. Most of the people have an hour comute unless they are in pharmecutical (which I don't have the right degree). I lucked into my old job being 15 minutes away (although I was over seas about 1 week evey 2-3 months).

Also, my profession is usually a 10 hour workday (it's been like that since I got out if school). So with 12 hours, with the commute, it would have been almost impossible to continue the 50/50 custody we currenly have. I'm not trying to talk my self into it, but just facing some brutal reality. That was actually the first thing that crosses my mind when they let me go. That's a big reason why I started looking at opening a bar/resturant.

It is a tough choice. Seems like there's no good answer.

My wife are suppose to meet for breakfast Sunday (just the 2 of us) to talk about this

I pray for the strength and wisdom to make the right choice
