I love being home. (Obviously or I wouldn't keep coming back so often.) Home is the perfect place to unwind...to forget that I am almost completely broke and sadly in more credit card debt than I would like to be, to eat cheetos and cookies and totally derail and type of "diet" I've tried to maintain, to stay in my pajamas all day, and really to do whatever I feel like doing without worrying about a thing. Seriously, when I'm here I don't have a care in the world...it is FABULOUS! The craziest thing is though, I CANNOT sleep in, which is so un-Betsy like. Today I was up at 8:45 am (after going to bed after 3) ready to hit the Prarie Path for a walk and then get a workout in. Back home in Minnesota, I have a ridiculously hard time getting out of bed before 10:30 on my days off. I feel like I have to cherish my time here because I never know when I'm coming back....but I have developed quite a pattern of return visits (April, June, August, October, November...). This time I really don't think I'll be back for a while though so I have to make the best of my short trip!
I hate that my family in I live in different states. There's no way I will ever be 100% entirely happy... well unless my family moves to Minnesota, but I don't think thats ever happening. I often contemplate moving back here, but I just don't think I could leave my friends. Plus I absolutely love Minnesota, it's really such a beautiful place to live. I never realized how beautiful it was until we moved away. Illinois just really doesn't compare at all.
I think this really does need to be my last trip to IL for a while. I need to stay home, work more, and focus on living my life there. Coming home so often really breaks up any patterns of normalcy I have tried to create for myself and it makes me lazy. When I don't feel like working anymore I call my dad up and plan a little vacation so I can take a break from my job and my life. I'm am ridiculously spoiled and I need to learn how to cope in the real world without all of my little vacations, even though I LOVE them and will miss them dearly! :)

And we would miss you terribly as well if you moved back home!
I'm jealous of all your time off and little vacations!
That is the one good thing about subbing--you can take time off whenever you want. Of course that is the bad thing about subbing too. I hope you have a fun time with your family.
