Home Sweet Home....

Well, after 7 hours in the car, we are home.  What a looonnnggg drive. Have you ever noticed that the drive home is much longer than the drive there?  It doesn't matter where "there" is....it's just longer.  I have a problem with my back, (bulging disk), so I bought one of those car massager/heat things at Wal-Mart.  I can't tell you how many times that thing has saved my a$$....literally.  Of course, 3 hours into the trip my daughter says, "What smells like its burning?"  The motor on my massager/heater went out.  So, for the rest of the trip home, I was squirming in my seat, trying to find the most comfortable position.  My legs were crossed, on the dash, on hubby's lap...it didn't matter, nothing helped.  And now I'm out at $20 massager!  Go figure.  But, our trip was worth it.  Every time we go there, my husband gets so relaxed.  That is quite an accomplishment, since he is so stressed most of the time.  Of course, he leaves Thursday for "Biketoberfest" in Daytona Beach.  Must be nice, going on TWO vacations in TWO weeks!  I, of course, wouldn't know.  I never get to go on vacation by myself.  I don't do ANYTHING by myself.  Well, occasionally I do treat myself to an hour massage with Jean, my masseuse.  I have to admit, those are pretty good.  Hmmmm....you know, my electric massager is broken....

Uh.........I love your journal entries. Each one seems to be so intriguing, and as I. myself, had a career as a stay a home Mom, I especially enjoy and agree with you on the virtues of rearing your own children, as opposed to day care, after care, latch key, whatever you want to call it. Bet you had a great childhood!!
