You Can't Go Home Again

Here are the Top 5 Reasons You Really Can't Go Home Again:



1) When you get there the fridge will be full of nothing (diet soda and expired cottage cheese Don't count)

2) Your 3 year-old, in the supposedly capable care of her grandparents and great-grandmother, has been fed a diet of pancakes 3 x a day for 4 days (no she does not get constipated at home ma!)

3) The same 3 year old who just started sleeping back in her room -- after residing in the hall for over a month -- has been allowed to sleep with great-grandma for 4 days (how loud will the screaming be when i get you home and park you back in your OWN ROOM?)

4) You're the one crying about sleeping in your own bed -- in your own house (nostalgia my foot...there's nothing nostalgic about sleeping in a childhood room with a toddler coughing in your face all night long)

5) Forty-something just doesn't feel like four (gosh darn it!)
