I would say that this is a good offer, you may be a little light on you accomodation and furniture budget, decent 3bed in Jumairah will be around 200k and furnishings I would thing 40k would be more like it.

Mirdif is out of town and not close to the big shopping centers like Battuta Mall and Mall of the Emirates.
But Dubai Festival City is developing quickly and Dubai Land will come up in the future, see
I do not know how many schools are around there. For sure is located in Mirdif.

-10K/mth USD is good anywhere in the world.
-140k/yr AED is ok.. but its a little light. Check for prices. Find out where your offices are, thats the big tihng.
-Schools are all over the place in Dubai for kids, but double check the schools. I've talked to a lot of the teachers at some of these international schools, and the education level of the kids in attendance are not very good. For the future of your children, taking an active role in their education is key to making sure they're ok when they go back to your home country.
-28k AED furniture: just goto ikea, and furnish your entire house with ikea. if you're only gonna be here for a few years, no need to bother investing in furniture of any significant value.
-30k/yr car will get you a toyota corolla from a rental/leasing agency. You'll need 36-40k to get a camry or accord. get the safest car you can possibly get, the drivers here are crazy.
-find out where your office is, and try to live anywhere on the abu dhabi side of the office. otherwise, expect rush hour traffic.
-I just moved from jumeirah.. I hated it personally based soley on the fact that it is a LOT noisier at night than you realise. In the past month, I've been woken up by crazy drivers thinking that the roads are an F1 course, 3 weddings, and loud neighbors. Go to the springs or something, and get your wife a car.
