    I just got offered my dream job!!

    But I can't take it! Damn, damn, damn.... fly in, fly out of Laos on a pretty awesome roster....so much for settling down with kiddliewinks some days...especially when I have serious itchy feet for traveling at the moment!!

    nah, its not really a job for someone with a family.... It was just an out of the blue offer from an old friend that I haven't caught up with in years and didn't know my current family status. Oh well....

    Onwards to the next adventure!

    Huge hugs Winter I too know what it’s like to turn down a job opportunity and chose to be a parent (mine didn’t sound quite as exciting as yours though). It really tugs at your heart from all directions, doesn’t it.

    Oh no! I mean yay that they offered but oh nooooo! Is there any way of letting them know that if the job ever comes up again you're in the wings? What a bittersweet thing!

    The sacrifices we make for kids eh?! Not that I'd put them back, but it does bite when something like that comes up. Nice to be offered though I guess.

    Yay on the offer, bugger to the timing! But it is nice to know that someone thinks you're brilliant

    DS licks too. Must be a common thing.

    You should be proud that you were offered your dream job! You obviously would be eeeeeeexcellent at it IF you wanted it!

    What's wrong with licking?? I like to lick. I lick my kidlets all the time. DD2 is the only one who doesn't complain. It's sorta feline I think? Dunno. Always licked the kidlets. 'Specially on the side of the head. Mmmmm... nice.
