On the Road Once Again

I made a spur of the moment decision last night to cut our vacation short. I packed up all our stuff, closed up our Cape house, and hit the road within a matter of hours.

I had just had enough. I wanted to be home. I was writing an e-mail to my husband when I realized my sudden need for home.

I want to be back home where my husband is a part of things. Even when my husband is away he is such a part of things in our home.

From the small things like his toiletries in our bathroom to the big things like the routines he created, I just feel more connected to him in my own home.

So tonight I am writing from New York City. The kids and I decided to stay with my friend in the city for a long weekend.

It's not quite home yet, but it's closer. I can hear the highway calling my name.
