Munchie is sleeping and I just finished putting most of my clothes back into my suitcase. I can’t believe I’m heading home tomorrow! I have that strange feeling that I’ve been gone forever but I’ve only been here a moment. Sort of bittersweet, you know? Munchie loves it here. I mean, come on, she gets extra spoiling from the grandparents, beautiful weather, and the run of a huge house with new toys. But then there is poor Kevin who, as far as I know, is living on Top Ramen and old pizza while sobbing over Ofoto pics of his little girl.

But you know what? It sure is nice to have four extra hands to help out with Leina. I’ve actaully been eating dinner at 5:30! I don’t know how I’m going to go back to a 8pm mealtime. I get to take long showers, style my hair and choose matching outfits. I’ve watched movie with the sound turned up and caught up on my free reading. It’s been a real vacation I tell you!

So it’s with a bit of regret that I stuff my bags and get ready to fly north. I know Leina is going to go into shock when we get home to our quiet little house. Thank goodness for the dog! I’m sure he’ll provide some much needed entertainment.

And why is it that when you go to pack, it seems your stuff has expanded to twice what you brought???? I mean, how many bags to one mom and one munchkin need? Insanity I tell you, complete insanity.
