Sage: LOL, Limboland sucks! No maps available, compasses don't work there, scary things jump out of the trees, mates look the same but act like Jack Nicholson, and evil flying monkeys sing "OEYOW EEOOW" and spy for the BUTT UGLY witch of the East!

Well Ding Dong, the Witch was out-witched. Thanks to a Michele & all my Piecing friends, I did find my way out of Limboland. There's no place like home!

T2ForNow: Other than the finger present, things are pretty much low in the Drama Department. Here's an example:

{Tal grabs his laundry bag and proceeds to put the dirty cloths in the laundry basket in the bedroom.}
Wolfie: Don't do that, I can wash my own cloths seperately.
Tal: Why?
Wolfie: Because the boys always steal my socks. I've had the same socks for six months now and haven't had to buy any new ones.
Tal: They don't steal your socks out of the laundry, they steal your clean socks out of your drawers after I've washed them and put them away.
Wolfie: Yeah, I guess...why would they steal dirty socks? Nevermind, I guess I just got used to doing my own laundry.
Tel: Well if it makes you feel any better, we can take turns doing both of our laundry.
Wolfie: OK.

Shiny: yeah, the finger present was a very nice touch. I snuck over to show it to my folks last night & my dad said, "it's about damn time". It kind of cracks me up, Wolfie is full of fret about planning things: where do we have the wedding and how soon do we have to book the place, what colors, what will we wear, what music, etc. Funny.

Water: Dispite his words & actions sometimes, I knew that, deep down he didn't want to end it. My job was to make coming home an easier thing to do.

Anybody can get into the grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side thinking. It's a whole different thing when you find yourself on the otherside looking back at a warm, lit-up house with your family inside.

I'm sure that newness and excitement has it's draws, but I guess we shouldn't underestimate the pull of the comfort of the familiar and being welcomed back into that warm home surrounded by family that loves you.
