After traveling the past three weeks for work, I was so happy to come home to Georgia. I missed it. I missed the warm weather... I missed this house... I missed that feeling of contentment that this is where I belong.
Yep- that lasted for about 4 hours.
OK, so not really, but when I had gone through the mail, unpacked my suitcase, and finally had an opportunity to sit down, I realized what I really needed in that moment- Girlfriends.
Ironically enough, Sex and the City 2 was on that night, and while I will refrain from commenting on the movie as a whole, there was one seen that completely summarized exactly what I was missing....
I was thinking, wow, this is what I really need- to sit around with other moms/ girlfriends, and just talk about kids, work, life in general. Laugh that laugh you only get when you are surrounded by girlfriends that just know you, and they understand what you are thinking with out you really having to say it. That sense of trust, where I can confide that as the days are ticking closer to having the girls here, I am so scared if I can do this on my own. That while I miss my precious girls beyond words, these few days that I am here- alone- I cherish, and the fact that I enjoy that time makes me feel guilty.
Let's face it- Girlfriends just get it.
And while I know that I will eventually make some connections here, it's just difficult to work through this period of limbo.
So to all my girlfriends out there, even though we may not be able to sit in the backyard and share a glass of wine, I just want you to know how much I value you, miss you, and carry your love and support in my heart. Thank you for all the support you give me, even from 650 miles away.
