We are home.  And we are tired.

We pulled into the driveway tonight at about 8:15.  We unloaded the car, I cleaned out the car entirely, cleaned out the fridge (I’m still not sure why), watered my indoor and outdoor plants, unpacked myself and the kids and started on the laundry.  We put the kids to bed quite late tonight because we left the air off (purposely) while we were away.  The upstairs was 89 degrees and the downstairs was 83.

It.was.hot.

So, now I sit, on my couch, my eyelids begging me to close them, but I won’t allow it because it’s still 82 degrees upstairs and I do not sleep anywhere that says anything about 82 degrees.

This past week has been so much fun.  It was the perfect getaway.  I can’t get over how sweet my sister, Sarah and her family are for letting us stay at her house from Tuesday to Saturday.  Then yesterday we drove from Louisville to Michigan to visit my other sister, Amy, and her family.  Today we went on a boat and went fishing.  The kids had never been boating or fishing before.  It was awesome.

This vacation was filled with many firsts…I’ll fill you in later, though.

The car that Ford asked to me to test drive?  AMAZING.  I can’t wait to tell you all about it.   I don’t want to give it back, think they would notice if we gave them our van without air conditioning instead of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid they brought to us?  Maybe.  Maybe not.

Of course we ate too much.  I had a grand total of 7 waffle/ice cream cones and at least three s’mores and a lot of donuts.  Which equals 235 pounds gained.

Oh and Brian spent a night in the hospital.

It was quite a week, I’m telling you.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow, to catching up on laundry (thankfully I did most of it at Sarah’s before we left), grocery shopping and getting the house back in order.  Racecar has surgery on Tuesday to have his adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears, so we’ll be taking it easy tomorrow.

I just wanted to check in and say “hi” and thank you for checking in on my blog.  Your readership means so much to me.  And thanks to Erin and Maria for helping me fill my pages with their wonderful words and meaningful thoughts.

There are blessings all around us.

I think my eyelids are winning the battle.  I guess I can sleep in a room that is 82 degrees.
