WOW! That was an experience.

Year of the Mom is a wonderful idea. Mom’s definitely deserve a kudos. I can’t even manage to take care of a husband and a dog without stressing out…forget about how I’d handle it with one, two or THREE kids.

you’d handle it wonderfully! I mean if you could manage that vet experience you’re good to go!! ;)

I wonder if I’m the only husband out here that feels weird whenever his wife starts talking about getting a massage. Kind of makes me feel inadequate or something. I mean, what am I? Chopped liver? And yes, my wife is talking about getting a massage. Don’t rub it in. Sorry, couldn’t resist. (grin)

rub it in – ha ha. my husband had a thai massage, he’s totally against another. of course, I’ve never been to one like he went to. he had to strip down to his skivvies – that’s a little personal, if you ask me.

Don’t forget you are in a totally new enviroment and in a new country too! I quite admire you for doing something so adventurous. It must be a pretty eye opening experience. What a great education for kiddies too. You make sure you get that massage girl…its the very least you deserve – you owe it to yourself!

TAhat massage goals sounds really nice. I especially think you should remember that you’re on vacation and shouldn’t have to worry about making everyone happy… although that’s something I too struggle with. Best of luck in the new year.

thanks for stopping by abby jess!! and I’m one that has had to learn to like a massage, but I have gotten there.

I think maybe it’s a bad thing that I have no idea when I could find the time to write a post about how I’m going to take better care of myself. Hmmm, I think maybe I need to work on this whole “year of the Mom” thing. Thanks for challenging me to do that.

I’m going to hole you to your very wise thoughts about your vacation. There’s no way you can see everyone, do everything, make everyone happy when you’re here next summer. You will only make everyone miserable if you try. Do what works for you, and only you. The people who truly care about you will definitely understand.

the vacation one is the most important I think. I’m pretty sure I could make myself – and everyone around me – crazy trying to fit it all in. Prioritizing will be key! and feel free to call me on it when I forget my commitment! :D

Year of the mom hmmmm that gives me a lot to think about and 1 year into a move to another country NO you don’t have to be settled yet! Happy new year!

go moms!! I think that’s like the official chant!! I actually have no idea wether or not we should be settled, it just feels like whinging to go on about it – though… but guess that would fall into the not cutting slack category!
