It's hard to live far way from family isn't it? In my opinion one of the hardest is that visits are such a big deal, with such expectation wrapped up in them, and having the stress of traveling included, instead of just dropping by for a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Sooo true Ali. That's what I struggle with - the not being able to stop in - or have them stop in, etc., It's hard. I think I am pretty independent but this weekend I really found myself missing being my mama's child. Gosh life is so much easier as a kid. . . to be cared for, instead of spending most my energies doing the caring for. I think I had a wimp moment...they surface every now & then.

You are NOT a wimp, just human. Remember to be as patient and gentle with yourself as you are with your kids.
