there's no place like home; there's no place like home...

i should be sleeping...
or at least reading and letting my mind wind down...
the night before a big trip i'm always a hot mess. i actually have everything packed; my clothes set out for tomorrow and the alarm clock set so that i have enough time to shower, brush my hair (though i wonder what the point will be after a super long flight!) and get to the airport in plenty of time.
still, i'm up and blogging. it's almost silly. but i'm worse than a kid on the night before christmas. going home sounds so appealing. i miss hugging my kids. i miss being near my husband. i miss everything about home. and i'm not one to rush time on, because i know it goes quickly enough on its own... but i just can't wait. and i'm so excited and full of big plans. there's nothing like being away to renew your resolve. there's something about being seperated from the ones you love most that makes you want to be a better person. it's a reminder that the grass is just the right shade of green. and just when you thought you couldn't love someone any more; your heart grows about three more sizes...
i keep learning that the biggest blessings come in the strangest forms.
