Stay or go--how do you make a decision?

It's come time to let my school know if I'm staying next year. How do you balance personal and professional needs? Personally, our family would rather stay in our current country. We love the culture and our friends here; my son loves it and has lots of friends. Professionally—for both my husband and I—it’s time and FAR past time to move on from our current school. Moving to another school in the country is impossible; I'm in a tiny country and I'm in a unique position which usually only has one or two in a school (think counselor, IT manager or librarian). I feel like I’m on a stupid see-saw. I talk myself into one side, and then talk myself into the other side. This is our first international school teaching position and we've been at this school for 6 years. How do experienced ITs make this decision?
