Why hello to you too!
First, I'm gonna let my 3 year old sit on YOUR lap for all of lunch. That way, I'll actually get to eat warm food.
Hang in there! I know your family would love to have you back in MI, but you should be going there because you want to, not because you're running away from something else.
I fully read that as "worm food" which is hilarious.
Thanks for the insight, too. I don't know if I'm running away from something. Unless that something is supreme frustration at not being able to figure things out.
I am in the same "mood" you are...I happened here from "sittingstill" (I think). How long have you been in NC and why? Not to be nosey, just need to figure out if this is the way I'm supposed to feel or if I really do hate it here. Drop me an email if you have time...or comment at my place...HELP!!!!
Hey Sue, thanks for dropping by.
I don't know if it's normal or not. I mean, I certainly don't feel like this all the time, so in that sense, yeah, it's probably pretty normal to feel crappy from time to time. (I can actually write it off to a hormonal surge, currently)
It's NOT normal to feel like this all the time. That's called depression. I don't have that at this instant, I don't think.
I don't know though. I've lived away from my family for 1/2 my life, and for a long time it was the right thing to do.
But now, I don't know.
Now that I think about it, it's mostly the being lonesome that I miss. When I'm home I'm never lonely. In fact, I'm usually trying to get away from everyone!
It's not Michigan. It's something here that I can maybe fix. But I feel like I've been trying to find the answer for so long, unsuccessfully, that at this very moment it feels unattainable.
Capice?
Hugsatcha. And to confirm, yes you're welcome to call any time. Hell, I do it to you -- and usually from your front yard!
At least you have your own supply of worms, so you can go into the garden and eat them. 
I have distinctivly felt like you are feeling before. Usually a trip home for over a week cures me of the desire to return. I don't think to feel like that is unnatural. If it extends for to long a time it's always good to pay someone to talk to, if you know what I mean 
Anyway, chin up and all that. I mean, really, midwestern weather sucks!
Heh. Thanks maggie. I've paid thousands along the journey! And I'm paying someone again in a couple of weeks.
You can call me anytime. Of course, I don't usually hear my phone if I am asleep, but my voicemail is very sympathetic.
I cannot empathize with the moving back to where one is from thing, because as you know I am running away from my crazy parents.
Oh, and if you can make my party, you can meet Ingrid's absolutely adorable youngest. The other two are cute, but Annikka is the cutest thing ever!
Stew,
Friends do not let friends move back to where we are from in Michigan (no offense meant to those of you reading this who live there). I think you would go beserk there, ultimately. If your family lived somewhere else, I'd be all for you moving closer to them....I guess this is not entirely fair since I haven't been there in a LONG time, but I just fear you'd end up Stewie Vander-something and get REALLY excited about achieving the next sales level in the pyscho-scary Amway pyramid.
You can ALWAYS call me in the middle of the night And Teddy is the most cuddly baby EVER and is very much looking forward to your visit.
