I am not a worrier by nature, but I probably should be more of one, as I think there are benefits to worrying.<br /><br />I have to agree that London and Sydney would be AWESOME, and Tokyo and Sao Paolo would be less awesome because the dominant language isn't English (or close to English), but what an adventure it would be regardless (with or without a promotion)!!!<br /><br />~ TienTienyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794189481824669692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907404085949868728.post-80664673791143095642009-10-30T08:39:22.082-05:002009-10-30T08:39:22.082-05:00I tend to be more laid back about things.

To the point where she hears sirens go by the house and worries which kid was in an accident (when they were teens). Or hears bad news from one of the towns that her kids lives in and worries that they were involved until she hears from them again. (Fortunately she doesn't call and worry. She'll just stew at home for days/weeks until she hears from us.)<br /><br />But I think that all your things will work themselves out eventually. The job though! Wow! I hope everything works out well there for your family. When I was in high school, my dad had the opportunity to take a job in Paris, France. I was a senior in HS, and all I knew was I wanted to finish school and go to college at home. I would not have gone with them. In hindsight, it would have been a fabulous opportunity, but never having been far from family and friends I didn't see that at the time. (I am glad I got to visit Paris with him a year later though. That was fun.)Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907404085949868728.post-30252357681553226472009-10-29T16:19:53.887-05:002009-10-29T16:19:53.887-05:00No advise- big fretter here, too.

Now, thinking of strategies to change likely unpleasant outcomes- I call that PLANNING, not worrying, so that's all fine and dandy with me. So I guess maybe think of ways to bribe your husband's company to at least send him someplace cool?<br />Or, you know, serenity to deal with any situation, blah blah blah boring.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907404085949868728.post-47661863703321905512009-10-29T14:01:33.843-05:002009-10-29T14:01:33.843-05:00UGH!

However, I do not think the possibilty of moving to Brazil is inconsequential. The birthday party thing is probably just your worry that Liam will notice if not many kids come to his party. I do the same thing and that is ultimately why we don't invite the kids' classes to the parties.<br />As for how to stop...? I hope someone tells YOU so that I will know how MYSELF! In the meantime, I will commiserate with you any time :)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747555588746854769noreply@blogger.com
