Home

It's so nice to be home.  My dishes, my water, my kids' bathtub, my kids' beds, and eventually my bed.  It's always nice to be with family, and almost always nice to be home from being with family.  I'm used to being around 2 well behaved children, and to be around more than 3 times that many kids that are well behaved, but not quite as well as ours, it's exhausting.  And deafening.  Don't get me wrong.  These kids are very well behaved being in a family with that many, it's just impossible to keep a thumb on that many kids at once.  My poor kids got in trouble a lot, but they were also well behaved when the others weren't, so they were greatly commended for that. 

Oh and guess what?  Both of my kids are well at the same time for the first time in over 4 weeks!  Seth started getting well yesterday, but was still cranky and lethargic at times.  Today he was great.  Lots of smiles. :)

I was unable to get much sleep when we were gone, so I'm quite tired, but it was a great time.  I was able to finish The Happiness Project, read entirely Jim and Casper Go to Church (READ THIS!!! Jim, a Christian, takes Casper, an atheist, to church and has him point out the things that put him off as an outsider.  There's much MUCH more to it than that, so read it.  It took me no time to read.)  I also started a fun book by an author that I've read before.  It's a kid's book that ties in Greek mythology a little.  It's starting out to be a good book, but I'm reading it out loud, so Dusty could hear while driving, so I didn't get far.  Also, I started another book that I can read myself, while he was busy doing other things.  It was a great long weekend.  Which I could do it all again tomorrow...ok, maybe the day after.  I'd like to get a good couple of nights' sleep under my belt.
