melancholy

Soo..
I haven't written in a long time.. nothing to say I guess.. or lots to say and no time.. not really sure..
The political season is heating up so I am sure that will give me some content..
I've been in a funk lately, and this past couple of weeks it's gotten worse...
I miss my family...
I grew up within three blocks of most of my family.. I could run over to their houses if I wanted too.. Now I am so far away it's a day's ride or a plane trip..
We spend a lot of time with my partner's family, and I love that.. I do, but it's not the same.. Not to mention that my parents and aunts and uncles are all getting up there in age, and I am missing valuable time with them. I try to get home as often as I can, but once a year isn't really what I had in mind.
I love my life.. I do.. I just wish I could do that "samantha from bewitched" trick with my nose and be where I need to be when I need to be there.. or when I want to be there.. I missed a rockin superbowl party with all my cousins.. and I hated it.
I so wanted to be there..
oh well.. I know it's not going to change anytime soon.. but I just figured I would vent about it the one place where I could..

I want my mommmy
