I like my job but the Sunday scaries are real. Wondering if I did enough this weekend or spent enough quality time with my family, but still have a list of things I wish I got done, wondering how this week will go, caught between the count down until the end of the work week but not wanting to wish time away

It's dark now... can't get a photo. I'll get a photo tomorrow.
I don't think the kids need ear muffs. @ArraDreaming
If they have their ipads with them, it's fine. There's things they can watch and it'll keep them occupied.

I'm on planes all the time. I just go for day trips @ArraDreaming . I leave early in the morning and come back late at night. It's like I catch the first plane out and the last plane in.
From my experience, if your ears are going to hurt, they are going to hurt. The ear muffs won't do anything. Give the kid a drink and when they swallow, it unblocks their ears.

Day trips to Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra @ArraDreaming .
For me, this day trips are like jumping on a train and going to the city, then returning. I don't do it as much now though.
My last trip was to Perth. But I stayed 10 days. I've also been to New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, India... I was going to go to Tonga in May, but I haven't 100% made up my mind. I'm leaning more towards no. I have a friend going. I just don't think I could take the humidity.
Also, I'm planning a 6 week trip to India for next year. I didn't get to travel to all the states last time, so I want to go to The King's City and other touristy areas. I don't like the food, but I like the culture.
