  “If we’re still here.” Oh, dear, that doesn’t sound very happy. Are you considering a move back? Hope you’re not as miserable as I am. I know how badly it sucks to feel this way.

  It’s not that I’m considering moving back. It’s that I’m very homesick and I truly do miss my family. Never thought I would say that but I do miss them and I miss the independence that I once had. I don’t have that here anymore. Maybe because I’m still learning my way around, maybe because I was a shopper and the stores and products here don’t compare to back home, maybe because I’m not working, maybe because I’m still with my in-laws while we find a house. I don’t know. I just hope that once we have a house that things will get better. But I have a bad case of the blues right now.

  I definitely know what you’re saying. Loss of independence like that is hard to take. I do think that once you have your own place, and are more familiar and comfortable on the road and around town, you will start to feel better. I really underestimated how much I would miss family and friends back home. Thank heavens we live in the age of the internet, or I would definitely have gone off the deep end by now. As for the shopping, well, not sure what to say on that front. It just ain’t the same….

  I have to agree. It wasn’t until we moved a couple thousand k’s from the in-laws and got our own place and our own lives that I truly felt like I was home.

  I don’t really see much difference, other than the date. Father’s Day is Father’s Day. An excuse for Dad to stay in bed and demand breakfast! ha ha ha
