A Chapter Closes: I'm Home

Friday was an important last day for me.

and

this will no longer be my Sunday evenings.

In case you're wondering, that's my suitcase by my front door.

As you know, for the last couple of years I have been a travelin' woman.  My job required me to be on the road.  A lot.

It was far from ideal, but we we made it work.

I would walk out that door early Monday morning and my heart would break.  It wouldn't be sewn back together until I walked back through that same door.  Hearing "mommy, mommy" screams and a little body thrown into my arms was everything in the world.

But that's now my "back then" and my "now" is me being home.  Where I belong.

Now, it's not all flowers and rainbows.  I'll still be working.  And I'll be working hard.  And I'll be working over 40 hours a week.  And I'll still travel here and there.  But most nights....yep, I'll be at home.

And I can't wait to feel like I'm not missing all of those little mid-week details.

My heart's in one piece.


And I'm home.
