Finally made it into the doctor's office today to pick up the insect repellant. It IS a very nice doctor's office and the pharmacy is right in there too. How convenient! Hopefully I will be able to wear shorts or dresses or anything other than pants here pretty soon.
On the walk over there we passed by a group of about 20 people doing tai chi in a big open area. My kids both stopped dead in their tracks to watch. I was explaining to them the little that I know about tai chi and pointing out the instructor/leader and just letting them take it all in. I asked G if she thought they looked graceful and beautiful kind of like ballerinas. She responded by asking if I saw the lady in the Hello Kitty yoga pants. How could I miss her? She was no younger than 55 years old. Petite Asian woman with hot pink, black and white huge pattern print of Hello Kitty faces covering her pants. And a matching black t shirt with a rhinestone outline of Hello Kitty's head. It was pretty amazing.
I saw a flight attendant in uniform walking toward the bus terminal today. It really made me want to go back to flying. I should know better. It's a feeling I get sometimes when I see airplanes in the sky or when B talks about certain things about his trips. I really miss flying sometimes. But like I said: my head knows better, it's my heart that tends to forget. The five year leave I took when G was born will be over in another year from now. I don't have room in my brain to think about that quite yet. But seeing that girl today brought it to the surface. Laugh if you will but being a stay at home mom is by far the hardest "job" I have ever had. I think because I care more about it than any other job I have had so I know I work harder at it. Going back to flying sounds literally like a vacation. But the commute from Hong Kong sounds like a nightmare...

Being a SAHM is definitely the hardest job ever... But being away from them wouldn't be easy, either. There's never a perfect solution, only what's best for your family.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a flight attendent... I think it would be such a fun job. I'd love getting to meet new people all the time. I never could figure out how to get such a job though ~ no one ever seems to be hiring.
