When you are gone for almost 3 months.
The first thing is the traffic! I had forgotten what it is like to drive up around here. I got a bit spoiled down in Ocean City…yes, it gets crowded on the weekends, but the weekdays, there really is little traffic. I also think that you don’t notice it quite so much because we do not have to drive nearly as much. A lot is within walking distance, and even when you have to drive, you are only driving for about 5 minutes at a time. I go through much less gas during the summer.
And the next thing I forgot how cluttered my house is! My goodness we need to get rid of a lot of stuff. It is not just the kid’s stuff, but our stuff as well. I am still unpacking but we just have stuff all over the place. Kind of overwhelming actually. I am actually feeling the need to purge and reorganize. Let’s just hope that I can find the time to do it all.
Ah well…it is good to be home…
Sounds like you are busy getting over summer! Which Ocean City were you at? NJ or MD? I know the NJ one well!
Just don’t purge the stuff belonging to family – RJ has told me he has a new appreciation for family things.
