Sorry for the big whine-fest yesterday. I'm feeling much better today. My husband and I spent a lot of time talking. I had a new friend call me and she made me feel a lot better, too. (Hi, Tina!)
There are so many good things about living here. There are wonderful things about being where we are. Not the least of which is that my husband and I have learned to depend on each other and to be self-sufficient. It was always so handy to have family around to help us out or to give us a break. Now, it's just us and I have to admit, that is harder than I imagined. It can also be wonderful. The bond between my husband and I has gotten a lot stronger. He has really stepped to the plate helping me out, being a real friend to me and to our son and at recognizing when I need to get out of the house. I think it has been good for him to take care of us.
I think I'm just suffering from the winter blues. My parents had been here all weekend and they left yesterday, my boy was sad with missing them before they even got out of the driveway. The thing I have to remember is that I'm only 5 hours from home and my husband will take us back any time I want to go. We can take our camper and a long weekend and camp back in WV any time we want to.
Things look much better and brighter today.

I'm glad you're happier today! It was fun talking to you on the phone yesterday!
Keep your chin up! Spring is coming!
I'm glad you had a better day. The only people we ever let watch Buddy were my parents... they both died w/in 14 mos of each other - I was 6 mos pregnant with Sissy, so ever since then, we've been on our own too. It is hard. You just have to juggle schedules as best you can...
