I’m sorry about my recent hiatus.
Actually…I take that back. No, I’m most definitely not.
You see, the Messy Mister whisked us all away to Disneyland for a much-needed, long-anticipated family vacation. This vacation was supposed to happen back in September but kept getting put off for one reason or another. We did pack the laptop. We did have Wi-Fi. I did intend to blog. It’s just that I got caught up.
In this: 
…and this: 
Oh, and I’m always a BIG fan of this: 
We had to concentrate really hard to achieve this: 
…and I had NO intentions of missing any of this: 
So I just decided to let myself be “caught up”. Carried away is probably more like it, with the togetherness of it. Why mess with that?
It was a very nice break. But, even though getting back into the day-to-day grind of everyday life feels a little bit like this:
…it’s good to be back to the old routine. Despite the Matterhorn Mountain-sized pile of laundry and the fact that we seem to be “missing” a periwinkle guppy named Blueberry, everything here is just as we left it. Yes, all the messes have waited patiently for me to take care of them.
Except that the milk has gone sour and the bread is growing…something. Looks like I’m cooking from the pantry tonight…stay tuned!

We have just returned from a stop at Disney World, and I did manage to blog from the plane and hotel. Big "however" here though. It is because we were travels as a couple now that the kids are grown! I never could have done that when the kids were small.
I bought a wand from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and lamented that it wouldn't be able to do the laundry when I got home.
While there, I was thinking about the magical times of taking the kids there when they were little. Each phase of life has its perks, though. The kids picked us up at the airport and had the groceries all taken care of when we arrived home.
It looks as though you and the family had an awesome time!
How fun!!!! Glad you took all of it off instead of trying to work while on vacation. And I LOVED The Help. Much better than the movie. But books usually are.
Much needed and anticipated family together time is ALWAYS a good reason to put the rest of life on hold for a bit. Looks like you all had a wonderful time.
Oh, how did you like the book?
