I
think being home for 6 weeks or so reset my travel tolerance. If you didn't
know I travel a lot for work these days. After an overdue job/career change,
which was so right for me, I began being one of those on the go business people
:) Last year it was about 40% travel and this year it's down to a projected 23%
(in part due to my top-notch parental leave benefits). I was able to enjoy the
holidays at home and it sure was nice. This week I started traveling again and
am trying to remind myself of the benefits, like visiting family in the area,
the ability to get more sleep, no household chores, and airline and hotel
points. Though I am looking forward to my local family visits I already miss my
little girl and my hunky husband! I stayed in my hotel room and pouted all last
night. Despite being in my pjs in bed by 7:30pm, I had trouble falling and
staying asleep. I'm glad the first night is over, but hope the next 2 weeks get
better. The holiday break spoiled me and I know I just have to get used to
traveling, hotels, and the routine again. All this said, warm feelings do arise
and a smile returns to my face as I think about my growing family. Where ever I
am I'm not alone - I have the baby with me! :)
Yes, a 6 week home time would diffidently reset travel tolerance, but too it would spoil me considering G time... Oh my God you certainly were ready for a career change; I'm so very glad you did it! You do sound like you have top-notch parental benefits and also an excellent manger! Hope you start sleeping better, remember those at home are well and are certainly cared for in your absence...(I miss you when yore gone too!) Yes, let that little egg keep you company; I remember how good that company was when I carried both you and Stephan :) Love you! xo
