home again, home again

well, it's been a busy few days. that's no excuse, really, but writing while on vacation is a little difficult. i'm out of routine, the kids are REALLY out of routine, and time just flies by.
today's re-entry was a little rough for all of us, i think. i love my home, but after i've been away for a while i see the clutter with new, more critical eyes. and because i was home by myself today, the mess built instead of disappearing. so tonight i'm blogging out of extreme guilt, but my heart is in the pile of dishes sitting on my dirty counter. ;)
the kids miss my parents' house, i think. they miss most of all the abundance of people waiting to love on them. i miss the big open space of the living room, with the huge picture windows and all of the light.
my house seems small and dark today.
but it is MY space, and that gives me a cozy nesting feeling, too. it may be messy and full of
stuff, but it is MY stuff: my books, my art, my piano, my animals... my family... my home.
welcome back.
