The re-entry on the Traveler can be as tough as it is for those who hold down the fort. Allow for that. Give him/her space to unwind, unpack, adjust. Everyone wants to see the Traveler, but sometimes the Traveler needs a shower in his own bath or a familiar meal before life begins to feel normal again." this is very true DH has just driven over 2 hrs at the end of a full days work and he really needs time to "get in the door" Thanks this post & the comments made me feel not so alone :) Hugs C Hi planningqueen, love yr site,
