Hello. I have a dilemma regarding jobs. I will post each of the positions below and their pros and cons. Please weigh in on your thoughts.

Job #1 - Non profit - I currently work here, but am off on sick leave right now.
It's a decent job with decent pay. However, we moved out of town and I will have to drive at least 40 mins one way to get there. I don't much like the work, it's boring and not challenging. I do like the people that work there. We live out of town now and my older son needs a way to get to school and I could drive him if I kept this job. He drives, but the highway is kinda scary. The thought of having to drive into the city every day is daunting.

Job #2 - Non profit - I used to work there and have the opportunity to go back.
The pay is pretty much the same at this job. This job is from home. I can have my two year old son home with me for the majority of the time while I work, saving on daycare. The people are really nice and the work is alright and it is fairly challenging. We would have to figure out something for my older son to get to school and back as we live out of town. I don't know if working alone all day is in the best interest of my illness. But on days where I don't feel well, I can still work and at least not have to take any days off. I can be home with my little boy if he's not feeling well. I don't know how it'll go with me trying to work and have the little guy at home. He can be handful sometimes. Grandparents have offered to watch my son occasionally when I need a sitter but they live in the city, about 20 mins away.

I think that's about it. I really appreciate your reading this and commenting.
