There’s No Place Like Home

Yes, I’m actually here. I haven’t been home in 16 days. (Well, there was that 12 hour layover as I packed the 2 summer outfits I own…) And my house is showing it. I just noticed my bathing suit that I wore in the Therapy Pool in Minnesota is still in a plastic bag in a suitcase in my dining room. Our car isn’t even fully unpacked from yesterday. It took me most of the morning to even find my computer and power cord.

Right now we’re having quiet time and that’s the only reason I’m even blogging. I’m about to be overcome with laundry and grocery shopping.

I did check my inbox (89 messages in one, 79 in the other). I also checked my bloglines (1455 unread posts). Alas, I had to “mark all read”. If something really important happened in your life (you got married, you won the lotto), please let me know because there is no way I can catch up.

(However, I did check out Amber’s blog, to see if she’d had Nathan yet. She did and there are NO traces of Down Syndrome! Praise the Lord!)

I know the real stuff you want to hear–the Mouse, the Princesses, the food and oh! the sun! But really, I’m just not ready to collect my thoughts yet. And so I don’t bore you to the floor (is that a phrase? Or did I make that up?) I’ll probably do my big updates on my vacation blog. That way you can read about every meal I ate and every outfit I wore. You know, the really important stuff.

In a nutshell, it was a heavenly vacation. The only kink was Lydia’s sleeping. She has always been a champion sleeper. But this week, we co-slept most nights and still it took her 3 hours to fall asleep each time. *sigh* One night I counted only FIVE hours that she slept. Meaning, I probably had FOUR.

However, I can’t let you go without at least one picture. This is Lydia’s first official Disney picture of the week. We had just gotten out of the car after driving a billion hours. We were still in our jeans and sweatshirts. The “Mickey boat” is right behind her. She doesn’t look happy, but that’s only because she has no idea what’s in store for her! Even with the pouty face, I love this one!

  6. Not entirely true. I have NEVER won anything until a magazine subscription last year and then a cd from you. 🙂 So….

    But yay!!!! Thanks!

  9. I’m so glad that you are back! I was searching the ocean for a big RED boat for my entire cruise! Why isn’t the boat red??????

  10. YAY!! I’m glad you’re home! You’ve been missed greatly. Look forward to hearing about your trip. Now… go get some rest! 😉

  11. We live about an hour from Disney & the weather’s been great lately, so you picked a fabulous time to visit. And if your little ones are anything like mine, just being there gets them so wound up that I’m not surprised they had trouble sleeping. But it was great fun, right?

  17. Glad you’re back and that you had a great vacation!! You were missed here in blog land!

    You have some Lost to get caught up on before tomorrow….unless you watched it on the boat. 🙂

  18. I adore the pic of Lydia too! But I adore all pics of little miss. Glad you are back!

  19. Welcome back, glad you had fun! That picture of Lydia is adorable!!! I’ve missed reading your blog in the last few months.
