vacation? what's that?

Last week I took the kids with me to Spokane, WA to visit my parents. They hadn't been to their house before and I wanted them to be able to spend some time with them. Luckily Matt was eager for some time to focus on work without the distraction of 3 kids running around. :) It was a good trip, the kids did a great job in the car. We got to my parents and they had a blast. They got to stay up later than usual, eat food they don't normally get to eat, play with toys, and be louder than normal. They got to spend time with their cousins, which they absolutely loved. The ride back was great as well, they got to watch 2 movies, listened to an audio book and eat snacks.

Me on the other hand...I was stressing about making sure they didn't get into things at my parents house, that they behaved, and that people would think I am a good parent. (When let's face it, does it really matter what other people think?) By the last night I was exhausted, and eager to be back at work. I missed my husband and the comfort of being at home.

It just goes to show that Dorothy was right, there is no place like home. :)

  
This is me with 9 weeks to go. Today is Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day, I have a nephew who has Moebius Syndrome, and purple is the color to show support!
Needless to say, today was a good day. I went to work, got lots done (even though I'll be working tonight), had pizza for dinner and watched a movie with the family. I even showed my support for my nephew Jake who has Moebius Syndrome!
