Well, it has been about three weeks since I last posted. Time seems to move faster and faster with each passing day. With two boys getting married in the next 100 days or so, baseball season starting, spring theater productions, registration for all the Artios Academy locations opening, each day seems to be very full.

However, for the last two days I have been stopped! Literally stopped in my tracks. Yes, I am one of the airline travelers that got stuck in the Atlanta, GA snowstorm. After sitting on the runway for 2 hours waiting for the plane to be de-iced, our flight was cancelled, we returned to the gate and stood in line for three hours waiting to be rebooked. It was an “enlightening experience watching how different personalities and temperaments handled the predicament they found themselves in….but that is a topic for another blog. I was rescheduled for a flight home 48 hours after my original flight.

BUT, I digress. For the past 36 hours….going on 48 by the time I get to try to fly home yet again, I have been stuck…stopped if you will. Thankfully, I’ve been in a lovely room at a Hampton Inn……where it has been quiet and where they had frozen dinners in their concession area, since all the food venues within walking distance have been closed due to “weather.”

I am so anxious to get home, to be with my husband and my kids, to sleep in my own bed and have clean clothes. Being stopped is good sometimes, moms dream of having peace and quiet, but honestly, I’d rather be right in the middle of the mayhem of a houseful of guys, dishes, laundry and cooking. Relationships are what give life meaning: my relationship with God, my family, my friends and my community!

Home Sweet Home….I can’t wait!
