No....you are not suffering from delusional fits of hysteria. After a very long and meandering month without me, you can rest easy. I am indeed, blogging again (here's a tissue, now wipe those tears from your eyes).
I've been on sabbatical in Thailand for the last couple of weeks. A much needed break if I do say so myself. And now, after great many massages, cups of coffee, glasses of wine, and baht frivolously spent, I am once again home with a much clearer head and lighter heart.
Unfortunately, there remains a far less appealing side to my holiday...the reality of returning home. I do believe that upon departure, the airlines issue rose colored glasses through which one will fondly remember home. However, the actual return is never quite as romantic.
After the customary hugs and kisses, gifts handed out, and general catching up...ones senses begin to overload as they take in the fine layer of dust, the over-growth of lawn, and the laundry pile slowly inching it's way into Mt. Washme status yet again. I console myself with the joy on my babies faces. I am, truly, happy to be home. Their smiles and laughter offer far more than the restorative properties of shopping.
So I welcome (albeit, tentatively) the laundry, homework, dishes, vacuuming, oil changes, and lawn work. Reality is a good place to be. I think I'll stay a while.
Missed you all! Smooches!! ~RD
About Me
- Randi
- I'm married to a fantastic man who drops by for a visit from time to time (no I'm not kidding). We have 6 amazing kids that keep me busier than any one woman should be. I have an inherent fear of boredom....so I do whatever possible to quell any possiblity of it's rising. That being said, I am also an insomniac...which means at times, even my best efforts are quashed. However, that is not to say that I don't try. I am...for all purpses rendered...a "fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" kind of girl. Some think this an elaborate excuse to procrastinate, when in fact, it is simply my way of staying sane...and perhaps an occasional excuse to procrasinate. I am insanely loyal to my friends and would drop everything in a moments notice for them. I dig partying with a ton of people. The more the better. I'm told I have an insane gift for making people enjoy themselves. Am studing the possiblility of euphoric gasses released through my salivary glands. It's one of many theories I'm looking into. Along with the off chance that I may just simply exude good times all on my own...curious. I love to sing, and do it as often as possible. Been told I can carry a tune...I do try *eh hem*!

As stated previously, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!! Glad you had a good time and got home safe. Vacations are always fun but it still seems the best part is the return to HOME & FAMILY. Give the little people a hug from us too. See ya sooner than later now. YEAH!
Hey Randi good to see you wirtting again, even I missed you. Have gotten sort of use to seeing how your family is doing. Love you much from the Bell bunch in Ks.

RD,
Wow Thailand! I am jealous. Currently I am returning from a kid vacation in Kansas City. I need the wine and the massages now that I am home. Hope to hear from you soon. Give the kids my love.
