She lives about 15 miles from the hospital, but I told her I am just much more comfortable at my own home and in my own bed. I have enough trouble sleeping here and I don't think I'd get any sleep in a strange place. I relax once I get home and I have my stuff here and I just feel better being here at my own home. Ben always worries about the house whenever we are away, so I would not want to add that worry for him. I know he's already worried about not being able to work.<br />KayKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641583831560369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-36374398929850644712011-03-24T20:00:18.138-05:002011-03-24T20:00:18.138-05:00Absolutely gorgeous.
