Now, for the past many years, "home sweet home" has been home with Doug and more recently with Doug and our boys. I don't think of my parents' house as "home" since really, home is where my immediate family is. But lately, I really really miss the DC area. For all the reasons we wanted to move--the hustle-bustle of it all. It certainly is, as my dad says, the "center of the universe." We wanted to move because it was too expensive, too fast-paced, too rude, too crowded; etc., etc.
I miss the shopping. I miss the museums. I miss the trees. I miss my friends and family. I miss diversity.
We got the kids to bed early tonight (Keegen at 5:30! and Bode at 6:30) since bright and early tomorrow we will be on our way. Doug will meet us in a week. I don't care for flying alone with the kids. Don't care for flying in general. My anxiety meter is rising. And I'm overthinking what I've packed, what I've missed and what could go wrong. So I'm trying to think of all the wonderful things that can go right (My children will be well-behaved, quiet, entertained. We will enjoy many snacks and time together. Keegen will love sitting in his carseat for 3 1/2 straight hours. They will refrain from pooping in-flight. We will create memories to last a lifetime...).
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
