the fan overhead goes swoosh, swoosh, swoosh; swoosh, swoosh, swoosh; swoosh, swoosh, swoosh; the fan overhead goes...I'm thinking of Emma and her favorite Baby Genius nursery rhyme (from Comcast ON DEMAND), "wheels on the bus"
Emma had another nightmare. she lives in a world within her mind which is far more advanced than her lil 2 year old body AND the big people world around her. as if I could do anything to help her make her sleepy time better; calmer. as of this past weekend, Emmy lives in gramma deedles home and sleeps in uncle Nate's "old" room. that can't help
i no longer live in gramma deedles home or even in the great mitten state. i reside in another country, some 1700 plus miles away, where wild pigs, deer and coyote roam and graze about 100 feet beyond the backyard patio (thankful for fencing right now)
texas. it really should be its own country. its big enough
different people
different language
different on and off ramps from busy highways (immediate right angled exits!)
different grass (feels like plastic)
just...different
it's not the mitten state. that's it. i do like the palm trees. i like being with my bro and sis-in-law. i like their home
i like my home
two days seems like forever when i measure them against how much i miss everyone back home. i'll get used to this country. every one's happy for me. it's just a vacation, right?. swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
