We're baaaack....

Well, the mini-vacation to Pigeon Forge was a success. We went to Dollywood on Thursday and it rained (but this was a good thing...). There were no lines and the temperature stayed around 75 so it was really comfortable all day. We saw Veggie Tales and the Kratt brothers from Zoboomafoo on PBS. Friday we went to Splash Country water park. It was MUCH hotter so we really enjoyed the water. Lily and I hung out at the Kiddie pool (the kitty cat pool, as she called it) and the wave pool. Brad and Sam hit the big water slides that I don't like and Lily is too little to ride. Worked out for everyone. Saturday, we checked out of the room and we spent the day shopping at the outlet stores. Sam and I found lots of school clothes for him at Old Navy. Brad dropped me off at the scrapbook store and let me spend some time there while he took the kids. We got home about 7 or so on Saturday evening. We unpacked, started some laundry and relaxed until bedtime. We slept in on Sunday morning and puttered around the house Sunday while recovering from our trip. I have had a hard time because I didn't sleep while we were gone. Two or three hours each night, tops. I am such a light sleeper and the noise from outside and the kids being in the same room with Brad and I kept me up late. Since we got back I've been super sleepy and the kids have really been on my nerves. I need a break from them. Its getting to that point... you all know what I mean.

Not much else to say right now... Lea is over and the kids are upstairs with her right now, probably tearing Sam's room apart. And so it goes.
