comforts of home

i often wish that i spent far more time at home than i do. oddly enough, even when i come home (which is defined as the house my family has lived in for 20 years) i often go stir-crazy and decide to make mini-trips.

like yesterday. i get a phone call while driving from st paul to parkston from the baby sis asking if i wanted to go to a movie that night. i get home and spend a few hours there before taking off for sister bonding time with krissa and kiana.

or today, when some of us are going to drive to omaha to spend time with kayla on her day off.

i love being home.

i enjoy having the pets around. even if they are simply sleeping like they are right now. it's nice to know that i can pet something soft and fuzzy and likes the attention. karma may be yippy when we first walk in the house after being away for days/weeks/months, but he calms down. gray (our gray tomcat) meows and wants to be babied. chili (the cat's full name is chilixitive) blips in and out for attention. and bill (krissa's bunny, aka agent bill tickelmeister) hides but sometimes appears to remind us that he exists.

i enjoy being around family. currently i am blogging in a house devoid of life except mine and the pets'. the rest of my family is in mitchell, either working (parents) or running errands (krissa and kiana). kayla and kendra won't be back in parkston until christmas eve.

i enjoy not cooking for myself.

i enjoy the fact that i can relax and not be stressed out about schoolwork. because i don't study while at home during breaks (whether or not i have homework to do). and even when i do have homework, i don't stress.

i love home. i'm glad that i am home.

i think that i will be a copycat and take a nap like the pets.
