If I didn't have kids, I swear I'd quit my job and take time off or move to Miami. I've had enough of this job! Anyone feel the same way? Has anyone out there w/kids and more guts than me just throw in the towel and opt for something different? I'd love to hear the stories.

- I have one 7 yo dd and I think about moving to Paris, London, Dublin, but I don't have the guts -- or the resources, ability to get a job overseas or a work visa or the language skills, in the case of Paris, but I still dream about it!

    - Are you sure you'll really like Miami? I don't really like FL. We have a house in Palm Beach, and it's pretty gross. No what people think of when they think FL.
