I feel like I've changed. Of course I've changed. I'm a mother. And a wife. And that is a big, big change that I'm still adjusting to after 4 years of marriage and 2 years of mommyhood.
The latest change is that I no longer look forward to leaving on a business trip. I mean I look forward to the travel and the destination and the reasons for the trip, but I don't look forward to leaving G. and NG. I just don't want to leave them behind anymore.
I have no idea how realistic it will be to take them with me on future trips, but whenever possible, I certainly want to try. My next big trip is in March 2009 to Austin, Texas. That would make a great trip that time of year. Alaska is damn cold in March.
Until then, I don't have any other business trips planned. We are, however, planning a family vacation - the 3 of us - to Mexico. I'm hoping to visit the town where my mother's mother is from outside of Guadalajara Mexico. More on that soon.
