After holiday blues

I have been traveling this past week, hence no blogging.  I know I can blog on the move, but I was in Wisconsin at my mother’s and she was having trouble with her internet.  I could get to some sites but not others.  She still has AOl dial-up and it’s a nightmare.

I went to Wisconsin on Saturday and returned today.  It is always difficult when I go home (Wisconsin).  I love seeing my family, but it just makes me so homesick, even when I am still there.  Crazy.  There is never enough time.

On the flip side, I miss my husband and puppies so much when I am gone.  I don’t seem to be completely happy when I am visiting.  It’s a little hard to understand if you have never moved far away from your family.   We have been gone for 12 years…sometimes it seems like an eternity.  Trust me, don’t take your family for granted!

Sometimes I don’t feel like I belong in either place.  With my husband or back in Wisconsin with my mom and siblings.  A fish out of water.  I have been thinking that a lot lately.  Even when it comes to my new job.  I feel a little isolated all the time.  And I am not sure if the isolation is of my own making.

I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year.  2009 here we come whether we like it or not.

P.S. On a completely different topic…I just finished a Dean Koontz novel, False Memory, very creepy.
