Back home at last.

Josh and Isaac arrived home Wednesday evening and we spontaneously went to hear music in a local park. It was a lot of fun and Isaac seemed to really enjoy the music--they were really good. Even though it was good reconnecting, at the end of the night, I was sad thinking of leaving them again. So I was crazy and took today off. I rationalized it a bazillion ways and jumped in the car and drove to NH.

We saw my parents at their work and convinced my mom to leave her volunteer shift at the hospital and come home with us. Isaac jumped on the trampoline and walked to the lake with my mom. It was awesome. Feeling good, I checked email around 3:00. Waiting for me in my inbox were several pissed off emails from my boss. The last one began with, "What an unfortunate day for you to have taken off...". Of course! The one day --in months-- I take as a complete vacation day is the one that I MUST be at lab. Only a few more weeks, right?
