Debate

England
vs
Canada

Now as some of you may or may not know I am Canadian. I moved to England to marry the love of my life and haven't looked back since. After two years we have decided to settle somewhere and start a family. We both agreed that if the Canadian government allowed me to sponsor my husband we would move back and settle there. The problem is that now I am having doubts. I have some amazing friends in England and don't want to leave them. On the other hand, my whole family is in Canada and would like to watch my kids grow up.

This is where you come in. I want you to give me some pros and cons for either Canada or England to help me make my decision. If all else fails, I can always toss a coin.

STRESS!

You can say what you want about Americans but I have to admit I love their in your face attitude at times. The last few months at work have been hell! Instead of dealing with problems like 'Americans', and by this I mean actually confronting someone you have a problem with and working out a solution, I have been entangled in a web of secrets, gossip and dirty underhanded lies.

As a result I have started taking long power walks around the village every other day. Some days when work has been really stressful I push myself too hard and come home completely paralysed on my right side from a mother of all stitches. But I have to admit they help (the walks not the stitches). When the pain starts to get to me I just think of all the little nasty comments said to me that day and imagine all the clever comebacks I would respond with if I had the courage. I never remember them when I need them though. The words "Oh yeah, well, ..." comes to mind and then I just submit and swallow yet another contradicting instruction or take the blame for something new they decided to blame on me.

Don't get me wrong, I love my job. At the moment its the tension I can't stand. I come home so tired I haven't the energy to read. I've been reading the same book for nearly a month now and it's only 180 pages! Needless to say this is the same reason why I haven't had any entries either. I know its sad but hey, we can't all be like Neath. The guys manages to post messages WITHOUT A CONNECTION! Now that's skill.
