Traveling Blues

Posted on by

One of the hardest parts about being a working mother is having to go on business trips out of town. My husband (an overworked lawyer himself) is super supportive when I have to travel, but it is still hard. I worry about what I have forgotten to do…who is going to get sick…what child will need to be picked-up and from where…

But part of me actually enjoys the occasional business trip. The work is usually enjoyable. Sometimes even challenging. And for a few days I get a break from the sometimes not so enjoyable night-time routine of cooking dinner, overseeing homework and fussing at kids to get to bed on time.

So, while I will have a few moments of guilt and worry while I am gone, I will try to relax, knowing that my husband will have everything under control. And for a few days, I will be just a working woman – not a working mother.

Weekend in Paris

Posted on by

I know it sounds crazy but a friend and I went to Paris last weekend for a short trip away without our husbands or children.  We left the US on Thursday afternoon (arrived in Paris early Friday morning) and left Paris on Monday morning.  Mostly we walked, ate (primarily cheese and chocolate), drank (French wine of course) and shopped.  We spent our last evening at a Parisian Spa.  Wow!

Don’t let anyone tell you that you do not have time to travel.  Even if you can only get away for a few days – DO IT!  And…you don’t have to go to France.  A few days spent just about anywhere with a close girlfriend can be the best way to rejuvenate yourself.
