While manning the Farmer's Market yesterday my cell phone rang but, since I was chatting with customers, I let it go to voicemail. Turns out it was the zoo calling to see if I was still interested in that position I interviewed for last month. Apparently whoever they hired didn't work out for one reason or another and the position is now open again.
Since the phone call came out of left field I had to buy myself a little time to think and called back last night telling a little white lie that I was out of town for the holiday weekend and would get back to them on Tuesday. I just didn't expect something like this to happen so it wasn't something I even contemplated and I need a little bit to think this all through.
So what would you do? Would you take the part-time position because the money would be nice (although certainly wouldn't make or break the family finances) and it can't hurt to get some non-entrepreneur employment back on the old resume? Or would you figure that trying to balance two jobs - your own company and a 20hr week part-time position along with quality family time (which is the thing that probably brings me the most joy in this world) would just make you crazy? Or would you simply fill to meet the new time challenges and thrive? What would you do?

Only take the job if you are giving up the other, $ is not everything.
