Hey, Gal - I empathize with you - I have been very fortunate in that Dan was not on the road as the kids grew up - and we took all those beach vacations, etc...it is some of the kids best memories - and they only grow up once...it's not too late to do things with your brood - you won't get a second chance, so if you need to put work on hold, do it. Work will always be there. Your kids will go on to have lives of your own, and you will wonder - what the hell happened? As for romance, marriage is hard work...you'll figure out what should happen next...Take care, do some "regrouping" as my sister-in-law says (I hate that word, really!) - my best to you and yours....
