Sometimes, when things are hectic or not going well around here, I just want to go home. I just want to go back to WV where we had family around and if I needed a break there was someone to watch N. or someone to go shopping with.
Sometimes I want to move home to WV. But, that ship has sailed. No matter what that idiotic campaign says, you CAN'T always go home to WV. Nearly every engineering firm has downsized or pulled out of the state. The ones that are still there are not hiring or are not stable enough to tie ourselves to. I suppose J. could work for the state and take a significant pay cut. The cost of living in WV is a good deal higher than where we are, though. Can't see that one working! Fix that Governor.
And then sometimes I just want to go home for a visit. Just to go out to dinner, to have N. play with someone else and to not make my bed for a couple days. It's fun to be a visitor. People clear their schedules and there's always someone to see or something to do.
When it comes down to it, I know we are better off here. Stable job, cheap groceries, lower housing costs, wonderful in-state Universities, something to do around every corner.
Still, sometimes I want to go home.

What? You're not enjoying the mountains of snow you have this week?
I know the feeling of wanting to be in WV normally, but these days I'd prefer a little extra time in GA.
We're heading to WV at 5 a.m. Thursday morning. If we were closer to Indiana, I'd swing by and pick you up.
Although, I did see on the news this morning about that horrible accident. Is that anywhere near you?
This is just such a iffy time all over. Maybe in a year or two (or when King Joe abdicates his throne), things will be different - better - and you can come back. :-)
I understand.
