first night
8:45 pm boys in bed, asleep
9:15 pm I'm in bed, asleep
9:45 pm I wake up as if I'd slept the whole night, wonder why hubby is not in bed
10:45 pm Mr. Furious climbs in bed, bad dream
11:45 pm Bam Bam climbs in bed, no reason
12:00 am Bam Bam needs a baba, I go to fetch it, turn on the light in the boys' room, hubby groans for me to turn it off. I realize my mate has abandoned the communal bed. Traitor.
1:00 am Bam Bam needs more baba, I go downstairs and fill it, realize hubby has returned to our bed and there's nowhere for me to sleep.
1:30-3:30 am Bam Bam and I watch Wallace and Grommit.
3:30 am I fall asleep in the guest bedroom, Bam Bam falls asleep in the chair, I worry that he'll pee on my chair.
12:00 NOON I wake up having no idea what time it is, hubby is awake and dressed, kids are dressed, just returned from the park and lunch. Hubby informs me that he has been up since 4:45 am with Mr. Furious, lucky him.
1:00 pm hubby falls asleep, kids fall asleep. I'm awake, barely.

    On my way to work this morning I thought to myself, "hmmmm, Mar might be home right now, maybe I'll give her a call to see how the trip went..." Glad I didn't, the joys of jetlag. I'll call you soon :)

    It was so great to see you and your adorable kids. I wish you were in my book club all the time. Thanks for making the trek out here!

    Glad you made it home, Mar! In spite of the jet lag, is it nice to be done vacationing? It was so, so great to see you all. Thanks for making so much time for us. We love you!

    P.S. Kate woke up this morning telling me stories about Grey. She must have been dreaming of your visit!

    It was so lovely spending time with you while you were here. I keep replaying conversations etc in my head. You really are one of my heroes. I admire and love you so much. Good luck with all that fun jet lag and getting back into real life which is always harder than vacation life
