You wonder "why did I leave the house". Fortunately in 20 years the expeience will fade but so many of the moemnts will stick with you good and bad. <br /><br />Love to you and I hope you get some sleep.<br /><br />MomBarbara aka Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284075468989630203.post-34755269279340573982011-10-10T06:27:20.687-04:002011-10-10T06:27:20.687-04:00Lovely to see your beautiful children. And I love...Lovely to see your beautiful children. And I love how authentic you are in this post, no candy coating, real life.<br /><br />Your story of getting up early to leave reminds me to so many of our trips when I was growing up. We'd all be stumbling around in the dark getting ready, us kids crabby because our parents always insisted that we dress up for traveling, and the last thing we wanted to wear on a plane ride was a scratchy wool skirt & sweater! No doubt our parents were feeling as you were, hoping we'd all be tired & groggy and not much trouble. <br /><br />As for not taking things on vacation to have room in the car - we've done that. And we too ended up buying some of the things on vacation we thought we wouldn't miss. This reminds us that perhaps we should get a bigger car next time we need one (and we don't even have kids!). <br /><br />I think for stay at home moms, going on vacation can be tough since basically you take your job with you and make it harder by taking the kids out of their normal routine and environment. Hope you're feeling better soon and can enjoy more fully your vacation.Chiot's Runhttp://www.chiotsrun.comnoreply@blogger.com
