homesick.

Home sick.  adj.  Acutely longing for one's family or home.
 

I'm a homebody.  I think this is a family trait as no one (rarely) moves away.  I don't like house sitting.  I like my home.  I love the home I have created with Nick.  Nick feels like home.

But there are times when I really miss my family.  I miss them now.  I see kids with their mom.  I want my mom.  I want my family.  I want my nieces and nephew to know who I am.  I want to be at that cookout.  I spent 23 years going to family cookouts.  Now I feel left out.  Sure, I live 2,000 + miles away... but one does feel "acutely" aware of the distance sometimes.

Who wants to drop 1,000 bucks and visit me this month?

Do you think the sky would open up again if I came out? I'm willing to chance it.

I miss you too - it doesn't feel right having family times without my whole family. Can't wait for Christmas!
