always look on the bright side...

i must confess i've been a bit down lately. i have to be away a lot overnight for work, and i feel i need to do this job to provide for the kids, but it means the kids are with a selection of babysitters a lot, they go to breakfast club a lot, and probably they're fine but i feel incredibly guilty about it all and i miss them. it does not help that their father will be away for 3 months over the next 6. boohoo poor kids/me.

still.

tonight i arrived in my Paris hotel. i'm on the top floor in some posh club / first / executive suite. if i have to be here, it's nice they spoil me a little, isn't it?! so i reckon i might as well enjoy it.....

on thursday, i'm away again - an overnighter in london this time. but i'll be staying in this incredibly british hotel and i'll be meeting up with one of my top mates. my parents are coming over especially to look after the kids  and i'm sure they'll give me lots of tlc too, once i get back on friday

(imagine that, even when your kids are in their 40s still having to look after them..... goodness me - but they do it, lovingly. and i indulge shamelessly).

so can't complain, really :-)

  1. Mag best hoor! Ik kan me het zo goed voorstellen. 't Maakt mij ook niet uit hoe hard ik moet werken, als ik maar thuis kan zijn met het eten en ze zelf naar bed kan brengen.

    Aan de andere kant, die hotelkamer ... ;-)

  5. Hang in there and have a lovely time you deserve it, you are a wonderful Mummy and I am sure the children will see it as a big adventure and they will love having your parents to stay. Enjoy London and catching up with your friend, it wont be long before you are on the slopes having fun and quality time with the children. KC x

  7. Ach, als het dan toch moet.... dan maar zo. Die kamer ziet er zeer comfortabel uit. Maar ik snap je gevoel, dat zeker.

    De rok komt morgen naar je toe ;-) Eindelijk maar toch!
