Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Did you miss me these past couple of days? I know some of you probably went through withdrawal not being able to read my witty little blogs but fear not, I have returned to fill that void in your life. I was away visiting my parents at their new house in the middle of nowhere that I stupidly believed would have Internet up and running. It did not and my laptop didn’t get touched for days. That may have been the first time that has ever happened…ever. My trip was fabulous and I cannot stress enough how important my family is to my soul and heart. They are all crazy and drama queens but I love each and every family member. I am one of 5 and I guess I am the middle child. I saw every sibling but one but it was still a great time. When I say my parents live in the middle of nowhere I mean NOWHERE. Their driveway is like going off roading and I pity their pizza guy! Their house is beautiful and sits on top of a big hill and the view from every window is just beautiful. They’re at that age where they want solitude and privacy and I don’t blame them after being there. The world and all its chaos and stress seems to disappear when you are there. Time flies and your totally relaxed until you get back in your car and head home to reality! Either way it was soothing to my soul to see them. I laughed my behind off and am counting down the days until I can return! If there is any advice I can give my avid readers it is to always keep connected to your family. Of course everyone’s definition of family is different. For me my family is my mom, stepdad and siblings and their kids as well as mine. We are all close and maybe its the Italian genes but family is always first! Love them all!! Ill be writing a few blogs to catch up!
