Busy on vacation!

Busy, busy, busy. That's been my weekend. I am finally getting a chance to sit down and do something other than get right back up or school work. Taking a vacation in my world means doing more than I do at home. Sound crazy? I might be, slightly.

I got to Florida on Friday when Jennifer's hubby drove me and the kids to Macon and my mom met us there to pick us up. The kids were so whinny on the trip, once we were with my mom. That made it seem like a longer trip that it was, though still not as bad as the flight over.

We got in around 3:30pm or so, and my best friend, Laura, came over to see us!!! She's such an awesome friend to be one of the first people to greet me!!! anywho... We played with the kids, had dinner, made some plans for her day off and then we did baths and went to bed.

Saturday, yesterday, we had to take mom's rental back and go to the store for some snacks and stuff for the kids. I also meant to get baby shampoo, so not to burn their eyes with regular shampoo, and forgot it. That made for an interesting bath time. We had an easy dinner, but bed time was frightful. They went to sleep fairly easily, though I moved them and Adrien woke up. Well, that was around 11pm, and he was awake until nearly 4am.

It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have plans for today, but I had a wedding to go to. Thankfully I still made it, but I am very exhausted, running on just 4 hours of sleep. When I got back, the kids wanted to eat so I had to get them dinner. They had dinner already, but I think because it was pretty early, they weren't quite ready to eat then.

After dinner, mom gave them a bath for me and got them ready for bed. I got them all tucked in, though it took Darien quite a while to fall asleep. Then, Adrien fell out of the chair he was asleep in and woke up. Fearing another episode like last night, I tried to leave him alone in hopes he would go back to sleep, after making sure he was okay. I walked outside and when I came back in, Grampy Bill (my mom's boyfriend) was holding him and just rocking him. He finally got him quiet and laid back down and out like a light.

In between all of this, I am trying to get a head start on my second class, which starts Tuesday. I want to make sure I stay on top of everything so I don't get behind. Visiting can get in the way at times, so if I am ahead, I have no excuses.

So, this is really the first time I have actually sat and been able to do more than quickly reply to someone or do more than class work. It's definitely a nice little break, though I will definitely be trying to make plenty of time for this while I am here. My family is awesome, though I need a break from them all once in a while.

I am hoping to get some really great pictures of the kids soon. Keeping checking back for updates on our visit and pictures of my great family and friends!
