The sun’ll come out… tomorrow.
Aug 17th, 2008 by B.
Tomorrow… after the longest month of my life… my in-laws finally leave for America. Jim goes back to work and the girls start school. Tomorrow I’ll get to walk through the flat braless, drinking orange juice straight from the carton, and eating yogurette bars for breakfast if I so desire.
Better yet, here’s what I won’t have to do: I won’t have to cook for or clean up after anyone; I won’t have to make mundane small-talk about the weather; I won’t have to hear for the millionth time that we should move back to America, where we supposedly belong; I won’t have to go see one more fucking castle or plaster a fake smile on my face for yet another in a long line of cheesy, posed photos (“This time go stand on the bank of the Elbe and pretend like you’re diving in while we take your picture… and don’t forget to smile and say cheese!”); I won’t have to plan anything or organize anything, or even speak or think or, hell, move if I don’t want to…
Ahhhh, heaven.
On this day..

I’m glad to hear freedom’s bell is about to ring….
I’ve missed you.

Sounds like it’s been a month of hell. I could only take a few days before I’d go find a Motel 6.

Except I would be sending THEM to the hotel (preferably the furthest away). I often wonder if people know how annoying they are.

Yaaay, you’ve blogged again…..I’ve missed reading your thoughts…….I’ve also missed seeing your comments on mine, although I do admit they’ve been less than cheery at times, lol…..Glad to hear you’ll have your freedom back soon too!
Hope ‘tomorrow’ was a terrific day for you! It’s a shame that they can’t accept the fact that you guys love living in Europe.
