Day 14, Monday May 7th

Surprisingly, this day wasn't too bad.

It started off in a hotel in Alabama.  The boys had slept really well and didn't get up until after 7am. This was a HUGE improvement from their 5:45 wake up all weekend.  No big hurry to get up and get started this morning until I realized that the coworker that was covering my shift at the hospital didn't show up.  5 texts and 2 phone calls later, wide awake and no one at work for me :)  Oh well, I did all I could from Anniston, Al.  I still have a 6 hr ride home.

Thankfully, the kids were awesome in the car!!  We decided to make a detour in Athens and toured the kids around downtown.  More for Matt and I, but nice for everyone to take 2 hr break out of the car and walk around for a while.

Since the kids were so great both ways in the car and since Matt can't drive past a firework place without buying anything, we stopped 30 minutes from the house to get fireworks...

Finally after travelling all day...we got home.  We walked in to a clean home.  Clean kitchen.  NO laundry (we did most at my parents before we left), no dishes.  All we had to do was unpack the car and unpack bags.  We finished quickly and went to the pool!  We enjoyed what time we had left with Matt before he was back at work for 4 days.

I was going to end my night with a well deserved glass of wine, but instead I downloaded pictures to my family, read my bible and was asleep before I knew it!

Back to the real world and my challenge at home!
