Back to Reality

Vacations are wonderful but having to come back to reality after a vacation is never much fun. Somehow, even though the house is clean when we leave, as soon as we return and the car is emptied the house is a COMPLETE disaster. Dirty laundry, dirty bottles, dirty bibs, dirty sippy cups, jackets strewn about and leftover snacks galore. Not to mention the fact that I have no food in the house and no time to go to the food store. Thank goodness tomorrow is the weekend and I have an extra pair of hands around to help out.

The other hard part is trying to get two kids back onto some sort of schedule. This isn't too diffcult with Allison since she doesn't nap but I forgot how hard it is to return home with a 9 month old. Trying to get him to sleep in his crib again is not fun. I remember when Allison was 9 months old and we went to New Orleans. After we returned home I swore I wasn't going to travel anymore becuase it took almost a week to get her back on schedule. But alas, we get through it and in a few months hopefully we'll be starting another trip, hopefully to visit Aunt BonBon and Uncle MiMi in California! A six hour plane ride with a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We must be crazy!
