Ur choice - career or family?...


Today was the most busy working-day in my accounting life.... I'm squeezed as a lemon actually. But after work, analyzing my day, i catch myself at interesting reflection... But I'll start from the beginning.

I work in a company as an accountant. One month ago our Chief Accountant left the company and I stayed alone. Nobody showed me anything, so I had to learn everything just by myself. But our company is small and actually i didn't like the conditions over there. So i also told my boss that i'm gonna leave, but we gave each other time: for him to find another one; for me - to find another job. So it one month passed since our talk. It's considered we leave each other May, 30. So me and my husband were making plans for vacations for June, cuz i was thinking to have vacation for June and then since July to find another job.

We decided to visit Egypt. So i was corresponding with my friend from Egypt about our meeting there, we were searching the best proposals of trips in Internet during the months, we visited even the travel agency in different city about that business. I bought swimsuit, spent 5 hours for that! And in general I haven't been vacation for 2 years already. At last we didn't have honeymoon with my husband since we got married. So all this pleasant troubles made our mood better.

But today my boss proposed me to stay and he gonna increase my salary. Well, i would like to stay, cuz in my position (i don't have experience enough) it's not bad salary. But he just can't find another accountant who would satisfy him (just as a person) and our office is situated far away from city. I asked him about the possibility to take vacation in June as I planed, but his answer was more "no" than "yes" (he's in hurry and we didn't finish).

So now I think what i suppose to do. I've never thought that this global question as what to choose - family or career - I will ever be deciding. I always thought that I'll deal with both that things easy. But now I understand that sometimes circumstances doesn't let u do it easy. So i just really do not know what to do. I understand my boss' position (he can't leave the only accountant for vacation) and just don't want to change my family plans, especially if it concerns my husband and his time also.

What to do? What to choose?...
