Maybe it's because I'm tired or because it's Monday but the moral is pretty low today. Driving home to the apartment after an hour of overtime I realised that the balance is not right now either.
For three years I just wanted to find a job! I really wanted to work, to have a job but staying here away from the home where I have my life, my hobbies, husband and cat doesn't feel right either. I want both and not having to choose between the two. I've been here two months, and tonight I can't imagine another 4 here. And I'm fully aware that 4 months doesn't sound like much, that's why accepted the six in the first place but...
I can't help thinking how much nicer it would be to come home to L., tired yes, but making dinner together, watching a film or reading a book. And to have time and possibility to do things after work. The fact of going to the doctor is becoming difficult, going to the shops, doing errands... cramming it all into the weekends is just stressful.
On the positive side the evenings are getting brighter and its easier to plan a little walk along the river. Hopefully the next three evenings I can get out of the office earlier and take some photos of the springtime.

tell me about it: every night is: make dinner, feed hungry child, feed hungry husband, clean up dinner, bath child covered in food, put child to bed and it is already 9pm.
Where did the evening go?
Oh no, you need to stay positive there!! If that's how it is maybe I should stay up here and accept an extension :)) lol
I completely understand. My husband has a job where he is gone during the week, living in hotels. Weekends are all that we have together. It is exhausting for all of us.
also, thanks for the comment on my blog :)
It's hard to feel complete in times like these, times of separation from home, time will surely tell what the right thing for you to do is. I know you'll follow what your heart is telling you on what to do...
Tutto ha i suoi pro e i suoi contro...spesso quando si fa una cosa si rimpiange di non poterne fare un' altra...l'anno prossimo andrò a lavorare ma so già che mi mancherà la mia libertà, la vita all'aria aperta,la possibilità di scegliere sempre cosa fare e come farlo...non sarà semplice e sembrerò un po' controcorrente ma amo stare a casa e occuparmi di tutto ciò che riguarda la vita famigliare...ma cmq per te è solo un periodo...quindi tieni duro e pensa che tra poco ti rigodrai tutto quello che ami di più...bacioni, Cri
It must be hard to stay away from such a lovely home and husband. Hang in there and remember there is a silver lining to every cloud. Take care!
