There’s no place like home…

I got home late on Tuesday night from my 1 1/2 week stint in Vegas, and I was exhausted! I spent most of yesterday just recharging and being happy that I was home.

I love Vegas, but to tell the truth, by the end of the trip I was a little sick of it. I think if I was just there on vacation with a lot of free time I would have really enjoyed the trip, but since I had to spend most of the days in meetings and thinking really hard by the end of the day I was too tired to do any sightseeing or do anything worthwhile.

I was also just plain homesick. Being away for a while is one thing, but being away for a while and being pregnant is another. I didn’t get as much rest as I normally do when I’m at home, and I definitely didn’t eat as healthy. Damn those buffets!!! I gained about 6lbs while I was gone. My doctor will NOT be happy with me. It was hard for me not to be home, not to be able to have quality time with my belly (many of the times after I was done with meetings in LV, I’d just come back to my room and sleep), and it was difficult to not have Dave around, who has been SO supportive during the pregnancy. I felt bad that he missed out on a week and a half of watching my belly grow and trying to feel the baby kick…

But now I’m home, and everything is OK again. I know I could have opted not to go to Vegas for this meeting, but aside from the homesickness I got a lot out of it. I learned a lot about the new product, got a lot of training, and most importantly, got to meet a lot of the people I will be working with from now on (everyone works in different locations, so it’s hard to get everyone together).

Home! Home! I can’t tell you how joyous I am to be back home again, back on my favorite couch, seeing that my fish are still alive, getting hugs from Dave…I have a new appreciation for it all!

I’d love to go to Vegas again, but next time on vacation where I can relax and have fun…
