Have you every felt like Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz? Desperately trying to get home to see your family. Well, that was me on Friday. You see, I have been in Boston since Tuesday (for work) and by Friday I was ready to click my heels three times and say "there's no place like home."
I knew that I was going to miss Shaun and Christian but boy was it harder then I thought. This was not the first time I have left Christian. I went to Atlanta last year for work for two day and then Shaun and I left him with my mom for a night while we went to my best friend's bridal shower in Charleston. Those were hard but this was a lot harder. Maybe it was because I was thousands of miles away and it was five days (I didn't get to see Christian until Saturday morning) until I saw him again. I feel for and bless those who travel for their work all the time and are away from their families constantly. I could not do it.
While I was gone I longed for many things that are a regular in my day with Christian...
I missed his sweet kisses and hugs.
I missed the little milestones that he was accomplishing in the short but long week.
I missed holding him while he feel asleep for his nap.
I missed those long talks (Christian language) that we have throughout the day.
I missed that still and mesmerized look that he gives when I do "the bugs is crawling" on his back.
I missed that silly laugh that he gives when I tickle him.
I even missed those temper tantrums that he throws when things don't go his way.
So, I am very glad to be back home...home sweet home...and in the arms of the ones that love me and I love the most. And for all you mothers out there who travel for a living, I envy you and the strength that you have. God bless you and your family in your travels.

I could not agree more. It was fun, but I am SO glad to be home with my family.
