I have been away from my kids and hubby for 8 days now, and it has been the longest I've been away. I miss them terribly, but I'm feeling pretty maudlin about it all. I will be leaving my best friend (sister-in-law), my brother and my two nieces here in Texas tomorrow morning, and I will miss them terribly too. This usually happens to me at the end of a lovely vacation. I've loved my time away, but I miss my family, so I'm usually stuck in this emotional limbo of feeling neither excited or depressed. It isn't as if I'm feeling nothing. I'm feeling both equally. It is a little exhausting, stressful, and exciting-depressing.
So tomorrow in the morning I will bid adieu to my beloved family in Texas, and run into the (hopefully) open arms of my children and hubby. It has been a wonderful vacation. I'm happy-sad to see it end.

I saw you on another's site in a comment.
Bet you'll be glad to be back with your family.
take care.
You have loving family and friends that draw you in different directions. What exquisite pleasure and guilt you experience.
You are a lucky lady.
Be glad.
The trip back home was quick, painless, and perfectly uneventful. Don, you summed up exactly how I feel, and it is a great reminder to know how blessed I am. ATBD - yup, right back at you.
That's the hardest--being torn in two by people you love! It's a good problem to have but not easy on the heart!
