The Long Way Home

I'm sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for my new plane and gate assignment. It's always nice when they tell you that your plane will not be able to make it to Birmingham. And then you wonder, how many times they've thought that and just didn't say anything.

Hooray for anxiety! My sprite doesn't seem to be helping with that. Damnit.

I can't get home soon enough. It's a mix of hormones and missing my daughter - but I'm rather weepy. It didn't help seeing all the amazing cute kiddos at Blogher, or listening to Q's voice on my voice mail.

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy to exchange diaper changes and meal time anyday. But being away, even for 3 lovely days and 2 glorious nights, is rejuvenating.

Hell. It's fucking fantastic.

I feel like I can do 14 loads of laundry, cook 3 hot dogs, and sit quietly for any number of naps without one complaint.

And, I am reminded that our work as mom bloggers is extremely worthwhile. That our writing of our stories - however we do it, in whatever style or voice we choose, is powerful. And meaningful. And necessary. And that regardless of status or popularity or readership, we all have something to say - and that was truly valued this weekend.

Meeting new and old bloggers, those on my bloglines and those yet to find themselves there, was extremely inspiring - not only as a writer, but as a mother. The connections with women - the ability to share my stories, and laugh about things that no one else really gets - made the trip worth it.

And my sadness about leaving my blog pals and friends is made easier knowing that tomorrow, I'll pop on my bloglines, and read their stories (and yours too) just like I do everyday.

That's comforting and encouraging.

Perhaps more than I ever knew.

[feministbitch]

I wasn't even there and all the posts about it are making me cry (and want to go next year!)

[Lisa Stone]

Call me and we'll do laundry together. Next week. When I am done sleeping.

[Mayberry]

Thanks for summing up my feelings so nicely! Get out of my brain!

So great to meet you in person.

[leahpeah]

next time i hope i have more time to talk to you. i would have liked that.

[badgermama]

I'm all weepy too, and a little bit cranky. Days of downtime would be nice. Or just one. Or just a few hours!

[Suebob]

So I'm not the only one choking back sobs?

I occupied myself by editing the 94 Red Stapler photos, which are up at Flickr, tagged with Red Stapler and BlogHer 06. You look marvelous.

[Jill Urbane, The Mentor Mom]

One of the most touching post-BlogHer posts that I have read. Well done.

I like the others am so there next year!

[Heather]

Reading the reviews I am somehow convinced that despite not registering on anyone's blogging radar I'd love to go next year. :)

[Jaime]

I am going to work my butt off in the next year just so that I am worthy enough to go to BlogHer next year!!!!

[Kelly]

I missed my kids too and seeing the cute babies around made it hard to be away. But the break from laundry and dishes and crappy diapers was AMAZING!
I am so glad that I ran into you!
Your blog is among the best written out there. You always have great insight and it all just FLOWS. Thanks for the chocolate that day too...
I really needed it!

[jennster]

i am weepy too. just weepy. it is like this huge emotional let down to have everyone be gone. it is SAD and when i think about all the fun we had, i just want everyone to COME BACK. smooches!

[wordgirl]

I...I..I...wish I had gone. It was my decision not to and now I realize that it was a decision that sucked ass. That said, had I gone I would probably be filled with more self-doubt that I am at this very minute. So...you can see my predicament. Maybe?
