I am going home to Baton Rouge for Thanksgiving. This is very exciting. I am bringing Tracy(or I should say he is bringing me!) to meet my family. This is no secret. I am looking forward to this very much.

Meeting and experiencing my family and friends can be overwhelming. The sheer volume is a bit much. As Bradley has said, people like to talk about their "crazy" families. Aunt So-and-So spilled the chowder on herself and cried or something. It's not like the Louque house. My kids won't be with me, which makes me sad. They are part of the noise and collective insanity. I can't really think about that. I am looking forward to laughing and seeing my people. I hope this goes well. Always good. Always home. There are people that won't be there that will be missed, but I will enjoy every moment.
