On the Road Again

Well, the traveling mom is hitting the road again tomorrow.  Off to Branson, MO for another tourism conference.  The good news is that I am traveling with my bff.  The bad news is that it is a road trip!  Good news... I'll have some peace and quiet and alone time... Bad news... I'll miss my husband and girls (well, it will take at least a day of being alone before I miss them, but I WILL miss them!). 

So goes the internal struggle I call my life.  I love my job and I love the travel associated with it.  I have great friends taht I travel with and enjoy my time with them.  The flip side is I feel guilty about enjoying my time away!  When my little one begs me not to go, I feel like a terrible mom!

Luckily, they are having field trips at day care for the Peanut, and the Big One hasn't gotten bored with summer yet.  They will be fine.  I will go, work hard, get refreshed and come back ready for another week of excitement.

Until next time,

Frances

ps... got some great deals at yard sales this weekend.  Will post pictures later!
