To each his own. I am much more into laughing eyes and killer smiles.
It is good to have plans but better to be flexible. Finishing your degree and getting a job sounds like a good plan. Working with three kids gets easier once they are all in school. I went back for a PhD when mine were 8, nearly 12, and nearly 14.
LOL - enjoy yourself. I saw that Hushovd won the cobblestone part (Paris), and was mightily happy with that, but what has happened since I've no idea about. It would be nice if he won, though. *g*
I hope it works out so that you can stay another year (and kaboom! Johnny Logan popped into my mind - What's another yeeeear? Gah). And that you have a grand time at the Gold Coast.
Hushovd is still in the green jersey and is currently as I type in a breakaway going for some more sprint points on a mountain stage (something he has done in previous tours).
I am enjoying it immensely - especially now that my hubby sorted out the technology so I can video it overnight and watch in peace during the day while the kids are at school. Much easier to rewind and watch the good parts ;)
Ah yes, Le Tour! Totally addictive, the cause of much lost sleep every July, and the best travel advertisement France ever had. Of course, shapely butts or not, the riders are totally and completely insane. I mean, what sort of vaguely 'normal' person goes out and spends around 3 weeks riding an average of 180 or more kms each day, including days where they ride up mountains I wouldn't even bother walking up ... Some of them can even string a few words together at the end! *shakes head*
And they do it at ridiculous speeds! My neighbour and I think it's a good ride when we average 21km over one hour but these guys average at about 50km over five hours!
Good to see that you take cycling seriously as a sport and aren't distracted by the superficialities of it all. Are the children well at the moment and can they manage to get through the Gold Coast experience without major injury? (Not So) Little Tyke will be so jealous. She has been pestering to go for years but we never take her. When she heard Grandad wanted to see some of Australia when he was over, she was sure that was what he'd want to see and wasn't convinced that he could possibly prefer dried up arable land and sheep! Tough about moving again. I know it's the lot of army families but that can't make it any better. Is there any chance of staying put when the children get to high school?
I take all sport seriously honest! *whistles innocently*
Hopefully we will be more stable when the children are older, but that really depends on what happens this year I guess *shrugs*
We are still trying to figure out when we go to the gold coast, but I think it is worth taking them at some point. My parents took me when I was 13 and I still have great memories. (Not So)Little Tyke is a good age now to go - still wants to hang out with you rather than any friends but old enough to ride the coasters on her own if you don't want to *nods*

Have fun on your holiday.
