Career breaks(Brakes??)

This is probably my 6th career break in the past 10 years of worklife.
The reasons for these breaks have been family.Mother passed away, got kicked off during 9/11, went to the US with husband, found a job there, maternity break, family leave break and now the return to india break(BRAKE!!)

After every break, there would be that enth to get back to work, wonder why I really killed my career etc etc.

Currently Iam preparing for all the pre KG admission interviews(I never was so unsure in my life before.All decisions were done mostly easily.)Never thought a lot when we bought a house or delivered a child.But deciding on a school to send my 2 year old toddler is like a billion dollar question.ICSE, CBSE, State board, donation , term fees, transport.......woof!

Life at this point of time is standing on a big bridge of uncertainity.
What do i do next?Get back to IT?Remain a stay at home mom?Get my ass up and get back to practice so that I can get back to dance?Dont know...Dont know.................

The only dawn of realization is this.Every other problem I had in the past were all a easy to decide situation, turn the wheel around to go around types.
After Amogh has come in, Iam held responsible for all his physical/social/moral development. which is a continuous process.

One of my colleagues in the US had commented, Children?We go into our graves worrying about them !

I hope I recover from this break like I have from my past ones...And for all those lonely souls who have seen it all and done it all by yourself, there is always light at the end of the tunnel
