I have several friends who dont have that and who say when they travel for work they wished they did as it would alleviate the guilt. <br /><br />One last note: i know I do not have children and cannot exactly understand what this is all like, but did want to give my two cents.Valerie at City|Life|Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348802292480366382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-21697621060224475972009-09-19T10:23:50.208-04:002009-09-19T10:23:50.208-04:00Adding another vote for you to go to the conferenc...Adding another vote for you to go to the conference. If leaving your twins is not ideal, would it be possible for your husband and twins to travel along with you and stay at a hotel nearby? That way you could participate in the conference and still have them there with you. Also, if you do want to go on your own, it definitely does not make you a bad mother.<br /><br />Good luck with all of your goals.Lexingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124902217006060520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-63698442975951686492009-09-18T06:55:53.260-04:002009-09-18T06:55:53.260-04:00Hey!

At the moment I keep my photography up with my old film SLR. Looking forward to seeing your travelling pictures and reading your travelling posts. <br />About the Conference, GO, GO, GO! Of course you are not a bad mother. Don't let anyone tell you that. If you don't start balancing your career and motherhood now, it will never happen. Your kids will be soooo proud of having you as a mum (when they can express it, of course...)<br /><br />Good luck!Viennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791600858674738910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-63688189059056697722009-09-18T01:39:21.357-04:002009-09-18T01:39:21.357-04:00Ooh, sparkly stuff...can't go wrong with spark...Ooh, sparkly stuff...can't go wrong with sparkles!<br /><br />You should definitely go to the conference.
