Heading Home Tomorrow ...

texchanAs the title says, my stay in Texas has come to an end. It's weird, really. This time, I was ready to go home (with "home" in my mind being Virginia) from about the first day I arrived. It wasn't that I had a bad visit or anything, but I actually felt homesick for what I had left behind. This is the first time that has happened to me, and, really, it makes me feel like a bad Texan. It's not that I don't still love Texas, 'cuz I do. I think it's more that "home", for me, has become the place where my hubby is and the place where I have so many memories with my daughter. Still, it was odd realizing that I had, somehow, made that switch in my mind. Even though it makes me feel guilty as a Texan, I have to admit it's probably a good thing. And, maybe a sign that 2007 will start to turn around for me, attitude-wise. This would be a good thing.
At any rate, I'm more than ready to head back. I'm dreading seeing what a disaster my house probably is, but looking forward to cuddling my old dog and my cat (both of whom have been exceedingly mopey since I left, according to my hubby). And, I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again -- especially since my parents' very howly cat makes sleeping down here almost impossible. (Crazy beast!) I swear, she is the loudest damn cat in the history of ever. You can hear her meowing and yowling three blocks away, and, one night, a policeman even came to my parents' door because someone had heard the cat and reported a domestic disturbance. o.o Seriously. We are talking one very loud and irritating cat. She is old, too. We have had her ever since she was born, which was when I was in high school ... and that makes her over 20 years old. And, yes, she has always been this way. All the other cats we had at the time hated her, poor thing.
The only drawbacks to the trip home are going through the security line at the airport, which always makes me nervous (dealing with all those strangers >.O), and having to get up at 3 AM in order to go to the airport. I'm debating over, maybe, not sleeping at all. But, I don't want to be too exhausted to deal with both my mom and my 3-year-old. So, perhaps I'll turn in around midnight and grab at least 3 hours. Then, I can get another hour on the way to the airport, if I'm lucky. With 4 hours of sleep, I should be good to go for the rest of the day. At least, I hope I will. *nervous laugh*
Blade-chan and Crystal -- I'm not sure if I'll be able to log onto IM tomorrow. My mom is very disapproving of my computer time. But, I've missed you guys lots. So, I'll do my best to log on and at least say hi. *GLOMS*

Date: 2007-01-26 04:40 pm (UTC)I have been going through a very reclusive, kind of anti-social mood lately. I've been lurking on beta, but not posting all that much. Ditto with RS. I try to update in here on a regular basis. Not like I have anything important to say, ever -- LOL. But, otherwise, I'll become a total recluse. >.O

Date: 2007-01-26 04:42 pm (UTC)I had a good trip home. It was long, but that's OK. Unfortunately, I had to head out again the day after I returned. That was hard to do, let me tell 'ya. I just wanted to stay home, period, because I was already tired from traveling.
I actually don't have IM right now. My compie has been acting up. *cries*
