Oh God! I am so terrible at transitioning it’s unbelievable. I am learning from the kids to remember everything, take it all in and to accept that our lives are where we are at the moment and to enjoy it.

About 50% of my work is portable so, while we aren’t burdened by the school year, we take off when we can to spend time with my family and my husband’s in our respective countries while we live in a third country.

While I feel like we’re always missing someone, my kids act like they are just happy to be where the are and ease into each different culture without missing a beat!

I always try to leave the house clean when we go. Coming home to a clean house is a najor stress-reducer for me. I also like to come home at a reasonable hour, to give everyone some down time before bedtime. If we have plans to be gone for a whole week, I like to get back on Saturday so we have Sunday to get the vacation laundry done and get ready for school.
