This time tomorrow...

I will be having breakfast, waiting for my plane outta here! I will have a 2.5 - 3 hour flight into Perth for a 12 hour stop over. Still wont actually be home until Tuesday morning 9am when Ben will pick me up off the plane, then we will drive home. We are thinking about taking a holiday this break (cause I am on 3 weeks break now) so we are thinking Gold Coast - we will figure that out later. My only condition of this holiday is that Ben is not allowed to take his mobile phone - everyone deserves a 'holiday' and our last was nearly 3 years ago! So, if the universe falls apart because he has left his phone behind so be it!

I had a good sleep last night - after I had a cry to Ben on the phone. Long story, but Lewis wants to go and live with Nan. I cant figure out if it is because she has a pool or not? But Ben and I put it down to boredom. He will start school this week and should keep him busy for a while. Meanwhile - this situation does not make me feel any better! I am caught between a rock and a hard place right now. I am so career driven, but I feel that I have left my family behind (literally) and this feeling is so unsettling. Do you give up, go home and settle for Wysteria Lane? I honestly dont know. If we lived in Perth this situation would be a no-brainer and I could do a proper roster (9/5) - but we dont live in Perth and I can not see it happening in the near future. Argggg..... what is a girl to do?

Confused :/

Hmmm, a tricky one!
That's a bit sad... I'd go with 'the pool' idea, kids are so materialistic, aren't they?
There are so many reasons why you should be at home, and so many reasons why you should be there.
I know that you would go crazy at home, i can't picture you sitting at home with only one (as Lewis is at school)
Maybe you could start your blogging FT, hehehe.... Or not!
Don't ya hate when ppl treat blogs like a business!! I think it's funny, you could do that!
Wow, e-mail me for some more 'what jes can do at home...' jobs. I'm LOL just thinking about them.

I think you hit the nail on the head with moving to perth. It will allow you to be so much closer to your guys.

There are plenty of women living career driven lives that arent living on wysteria lane. Design the life that you both want.

Im loving the holiday idea and moreso the idea of leaving Ben's mobile at home. You would all have a blast!
