I Have Returned

August 1, 2007

Well, I’m back, and we survived our vacation. I was glad to see that my Jeep was unharmed in the airport’s long term parking, my house hadn’t burned down, and all of our pets survived. We had some really great house sitters who took care of the house and pets, so I wasn’t really worried about those items.

We flew back in to Colorado yesterday, and were just exhausted. The accommodations were terrific, my wife’s family made sure we were comfortable, but there is something about sleeping in your own bed. Maybe I’m getting old.

The kids were pretty happy to sleep anywhere, which is pretty normal for them, but without a schedule, they just weren’t getting the sleep they needed, which showed in their behavior. Not to mention a little spoiling by the grandparents. I think they had more candy over those two weeks than they had all year

Last night, at about 6 PM, we all laid down to enjoy the air conditioning in our room, and the next thing I know, it is 10:45 and everyone is asleep. I was worried that the kids were going to wake up at 2 AM, but after putting them in their beds, they slept until 7. I really needed that sleep!

I go back to work tomorrow, and it is nice to have a day to get everything back on track here. I have a whole lot of stuff to write about, and I’ll make sure to share some pictures too. Those posts will be appearing somewhat irregularly in the near future. Right now I’m trying to catch up on my email and RSS feeds.

So stay tuned.
