New Year and Coming Home

Wednesday was a chill day; I forgot to mention that I took the week off of work. I was so glad that my request was approved and it was a much needed break. My husband took Teddy to top golf today; my nephew and bother in law went as well. I am glad they were able to get out and do something. My husband when he first found out we were going to Florida wanted to bring his clubs and go golfing with a few people, but he ended up not and I do not think there would have been time, so I am glad he didn’t. I know he wanted to but it worked out okay.

Thursday we got up early and went to Fun Spot; all the kids were tall enough to go on the go carts alone, so the adults did not get tickets, we just watched. Except the sky coaster, my niece and Sally decided they wanted to do it, but asked if I would go with them. I said yes or course and it was a blast. Teddy and my nephew did it as well. My niece had to be the one to pull the rip cord and she did it. They workers did tell me that they set my pull cord as well just in case she froze, but she didn’t and it was the best. A couple of years ago, I did the swing by myself but this time it was fun to do it with others. Sally was so brave, so was my niece; they loved it after it was done.

Friday was our last day; I spent the morning doing laundry and packing up our stuff. We left around 3:30 to head to the airport. We made it in plenty of time. The flight was uneventful until the last 15 or so minutes. Sally started crying that her tummy hurt and she ended up throwing up; half got in the bag I thew at her and half got all over. We were in our decent and I had to hold a bag of barf until we landed, not fun at all. I had to use my new sweatshirt to clean up puke that got all over and then I gave Sally my other sweatshirt that was in our suit cases after we got them. It was 40 degrees and I was cold but we made it. I forgot she got a giraffe comfy for Christmas and could have worn that, but o well.

We got to Utah around 10:30 and made it to our car and drove home. Sally slept most of the drive. We made it home by 2:30. Sally transferred to the couch and we made to bed by 3. My husband and Teddy had to get up at 7:30 for a hair cut but I slept in until 1; I was so tired and so sad to be home. My house was a mess and I was not ready to be an adult and have to go back to doing everything. It had been such a nice break and now it was over.

Monday, school started again and so did my work; it was so hard to wake up and start my day but I did and we made it. Sally had her first basketball practice on Monday and Teddy tried out for the middle school 7th grade basketball team; he made the team and hopes to start. His game start next week. Macy had her first practice on Wednesday. I felt like I was in the car a lot this week and it will continue to be crazy. I hope the kids enjoy their activities because somedays I would rather be in bed with the covers over my head.

Saturday the girls had their first games; they were interesting but good. Macy tries so hard, she is not the best player but she is determined to try her best. She told me this week that she does not know why she signed up, but I am glad she is trying. They both have a lot to learn but glad they are giving it their all.
