I am home in Charleston after surviving the drive... but it was long and took its toll... our first day on the road was tough and the kids were cranky - made more difficult by the fact that when the baby cried it set Liam off to the point where he threw things and lashed out, so we had to stop often and calm them both down...
By the time we got to the hotel, both Robyn and I were baked, but Erik was raring to go... he slept in fits and spurts and was up more than he was down... leaving me with only about 2.5 hours of good sleep...
The upside to that was that our second travel day was quieter - Erik slept almost the whole way and the iPad helped keep Liam busy and happy... so we made it home late on Tuesday...
I spent all day yesterday catching up on sleep and barely looked at my email. I know that there are a few people who I need to help track down prizes, and there are some giveaways that I need to draw winners for. I will try to be back on track tomorrow - I have a couple of posts to get up today that are promised - a book review and a guest post... once I get those completed I'm going to try and get the laundry done and put away and try to help get the kids back in routine.... I promise to start checking my emails tomorrow and follow up with everyone who is waiting for me... I also have some great stuff coming up!
Please know that I had no idea how tough the past few days would be - and how much recovery time I would need after my vacation.
I appreciate everyone's patience and look forward to getting back to everyone soon!
