sing it Willie
When I met my husband 27 years ago, I remember being very impressed by the fact that he owned two suits. I thought, WOW...this guy is really going places. WAS I EVER RIGHT!!! We are in now in the process of packing for a move to Lagos, Nigeria. This will be our 20th move and our 7th country. 
If the soundtrack of my life is "On the Road Again", then the Greek myth of my life would have to be Sisyphus. The man is sentenced to an eternity of rolling a rock up a hill only to have it roll back down again. Up the hill, down the hill...this describes the expat wife very well. We pack, we unpack, we pack we unpack. But here the similarities end. You see Sisyphus' task is boring and monotonous, while the expat life is not. I think that is why we like to watch bull riding...it is similar to some of our life experences....what a ride.
