The Fretful Mother's Blog

There are countries in Europe where everybody gets weeks and weeks and weeks of vacation.  And the people seem fine with that.  Perhaps there’s no words in the EU for “fraught” or “dangling-in-front-of-you-but-then-ready-to-be-snatched-away-just-when-you-get-your-hopes-up.” (If there is a word for that, it’s German). You can spend months planning and anticipating, shopping and researching and then at the last moment, some “BEANBAG” (I have a fear that my blog will be flagged for inappropriate content)  determines it’s the perfect time to get batty and trifle with your plans.  Suddenly, instead of sunning on the beach or flyfishing, you are dealing with getting deposits back and struggling to find e-mail access.   Don’t even think about vacation.  You can never be too safe.
