After three days we are home again and we both were very pleased to get through the door & see the cats! It was really hard in hospital watching her get upset and also the whole work balance thing came back to make me feel guilty.

It’s such a shame that it even has to register and to be fair work were great at me not being there at short notice, but I can’t help starting to feel that it’s just really hard to manage a career or job and a family and I  know which is my priority. Hopefully when things have settled back down it won’t be such an issue and I think the fact my commute is about an hour doesn’t help. It does start to make me question what I am doing – but then I think about how much better it is for Imogen and I on so many levels that I do work and I know for us and how we work as a family it is still the right thing to do.
