Coming Home.

Sooo I spent the week in Washington again.  Work was as busy as expected and I am happily sitting at my computer and for this first time all week I'm taking a break.  I am refusing to open my outlook again until Monday.  The hundreds of emails that will surely pile up between now and then can wait because tonight I'm going home and tonight I am going to relax.

Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed at this life that I lead. Sometimes travelling to pretty cities, working long hours, solving big issues, sleeping in hotel rooms all seem too much to me.  Sometimes I want to be back in school with no job, no money, and lots of homework.  Sometimes I want to have a little family with beautiful little babies.  Sometimes I want nothing to do with dealing with having a job.  Sometimes I want to be a little less responsible.

I need to get home.   I need to kiss Nathan.  I need to see my family.  I need to put away my work computer.  I need to unwind.  This feeling will go away.  Monday morning, I will head to my pretty desk with my new fancy smancy computer waiting. Monday, I will remember that I am really loving my new job. 

When I get in these moods about my life not being what I want it to be I tell myself...

The best thing that I can do is be the best person that I can be. 

And I truly believe that.  I can't control the world.  I can't control the people in my world.  I can't control the situations that come up.  I can control myself and my happiness.  I choose to be happy.

I am about to board my plane and head home.  I can't wait.

I did take some pictures but I'll upload them later on a probably happier post...

This picture was taken right outside the Fluke building (by my phone's camera).  Washington is such a BEAUTIFUL place.
