Au Revoir

June 29, 2015 by Stacey 12 Comments

Today I’m going on a little sojourn for the next few weeks: first up – Bali with my love to celebrate 10 years together. The girls will be with their grandma, who is BY FAR the most excited person about this arrangement. And I’m absolutely beside myself, so that’s saying something.

The week after that, I’ve got a conference in Portland that has come up unexpectedly. Well the trip has come up unexpectedly, the conference has been around for ages. It will just be me solo, so that means quite a bit more time away from the girls than I am used to. Eagle-eyed watchers could have found me at any given moment these last few days watching my children like a lovestruck fool, getting emotional over their tiny socks, and squeezing them until they beg to get away. I really, really love being with my kids. They’re awesome company and incredibly cute. They also let me eat the bulk of the chips.

I also love travelling so it’s quite the conundrum.

I have no idea how I’ll handle it, so I’ll head into it like I do most things: assume it will all be ok until proven otherwise. Plan on crying less than a handful of times. Try to stick to that.

So you don’t cry while I’m gone I’ve got some little things planned here, but on the whole I’m going to go be.

Au revoir!

    Happy Anni! Enjoy Bali… and the loveness! It all sounds awesome apart from missing the girls. I’m off to the Mother Country maybe we’ll be like planes that fly by in the night or something. Whatevs, see you on the other side and have the very best of times.

    There will no doubt be a few tears here and there, but nothing that cocktails on the beach can’t fix. That’s why they were invented in the first place – the sweet liquor disguises the taste of tears. Have a blast, and we’ll see you on the flipside x

    I just clicked that you’ll be away for a little bit longer than I will…rest assured you will have a fabulous time in Portland and if you miss your babies and need to step behind a food cart to wipe a little tear from your eye I won’t mind. See you next week!

    You are a braver lady than I. I am just plucking up the courage to go to Sydney for the weekend and my youngest in nearly 6!! Have an amazing time and yes a handful of crying sessions will release the nervous tension. That and tea, coffee and chocolate. Bon voyage x oh and by the way I am in a highly glamourous motel room in downtown country Victoria (Sale) where my children have indeed been binge watching netflix, fortunately they are not sick though!
