And it keeps me turning home.

I've been an emotional wreck lately.

Not the depressed kind. Just the kind that cries at Modern Family episodes, country songs about transitioning into adulthood, and that flash mob "Home for the Holidays" T-Mobile commercial. 

Basically, I'm 12 different types of homesick and I really miss my family. And my house and the layer of dog hair that covers it. And doing asinine things with my brothers that drive my parents to say things like "I can't hear myself think"

Waiting to go home for Christmas break has kind of made me obsess over my family. My immediate family, my extended family, and the people that fall somewhere in between. How much I love them, how much they love me, and how sad it is that there are people who don't look forward to going home. 

Maybe this is all because I've watched 17 hours of the show Parenthood in the last 48 hours. Or maybe it's because I haven't been home in over four months. Or maybe its that every person I know is Facebooking/Tweeting "HOME SWEET HOME!!! SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!!". 
(Seriously people, grow some creativity.)

I'm planning on pulling into my driveway in 4 days. 
And I reeeaallly can't wait.
