No Place Like Home

August 25th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
Filed Under: Sundries

At least I think there’s no place like home, but since I’m stuck in an airport while a tropical storm plays havoc with flight schedules, home is simply a wishful thought.

Have you ever tried explaining flight delays to a four-year-old who desperately wants to know how many more MINUTES it will be until mommy arrives home. It feels a little like trying to explain the theory of relativity to a gerbil.

    I am laughing so hard over that last sentence. That described the early years of my life as a parent. Now it is the other way around: the teen and almost-teen trying to explain something to me and I am the gerbil.

    Its like trying to herd kittens. They are mostly cute but really frustrating to explain anything to or correl. :)

    I hope you make it home quickly and safely!! I travelled a lot when I first returned to work after my daughter was born, and it was so hard being gone - that was before she could talk, so I’m sure it’s much more difficult for you. Wishing you much quality time with your family…and your coffee maker upon your return! ;)
