That is a real bummer Janine! But mark my words, when the children are grown and you are all alone, you are going to remember this day with fondness! ( Don’t really mean that…..you are going to heave a sigh of relief that you are over parenting, mostly, and can at last afford a decent holiday :-)) Hope the weather turns!

It was OK, but between me and the movie we should completely turn you off ever having children.There were some funny relatable moments particularly the lying in bed list making, although there were times when it did seem to be the “movie world” version of the mummy guilt work/stay at home situation – many do it with as much angst but at lot less help and no options, when there is no choice but to work due to financial circumstances.But I did like Sarah Jessica Parker.

It’s just ridiculous isn’t – we never get away – there’s always something happening or neverending house expenses.

Hi!! Report back on how that movie was – I was considering seeing it because it’s Sarah Jessica Parker, but I couldn’t ever find time. Which leads into my, when would I have time for a holiday? Most (all but one) day I’ve ever taken off from work, I end up working at least a few hours. I need to plan a vacation where I leave the state (and the state I work in) and just escape. Actually, I’d really just love to sit in front of a television for a week. That sounds like heaven.

I remember when I was chained to my desk designing roof trusses, when the kids were small, and it was daylight savings time, I’d drive into work watching the sun come up and get home in time for dusk, leaving only the weekends for outdoor recreaction. A rainy day on the weekend would drive me to tears. I feel you on that rainy vacation deal. I hope the weatherman is wrong and that you end up enjoying a few sunny days before you head home. If not, maybe you’ll at least get a rainbow out of the deal. 🙂 I’m rooting for you, Janine.

Holiday? What holiday? Our last “real” holiday was our honeymoon to Thailand (which was fabulous by the way) – and we just recently celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary!!! I don’t count our recent mad trip to Sydney for 3 days to visit family as a “holiday”!!! One day we will have that great family holiday – I will keep dreaming…
