We are finally home after a mini vacation(a weekend trip) to Ohio! And walking through those doors never felt so good (or smelled so bad)!!
We left on Friday for Aunt Carol graduation party(nursing school.. WAY 2 GO!) Our trip didn't get off to a good start.. We weren't even an hour into the trip & Owen started puking.. poor kid! That was how he spent the trip.. puking in a grocery bag. I must say he is a trooper! He didn't get any in the van or on himself and is really low key about it.
We also realized about an hour into our trip that we had forgotten Callie's dinky (her blanket).. no turning around for it. So I figured this was meant to be & we would brake her from it. She screamed about 45% of the way out.. I was thinking "WOW! what is the ride home gonna be like?" cuz usually the ride out goes better than the ride home!
Once we got out there everything was good.. We enjoyed ourselves and it was awesome seeing the family again. Granny Flutter (Grandma Pat) had just gotten out of the hospital. She had broken her thigh several years ago & they had put in a steel plate for it.. well the steel plate had set up infection in her body and it had spread.. I guess she was pretty sick from it.. BUT now she is better & walking better than she had even when her plate was in. The bone had healed while the plate was in(something the docs didn't think could happen)
The ride home was good.. all 3 kids were great.. Callie had to stop 2x for a potty break... luckily enough she is little and we can just stop and pull her pants down right there. We gave Owen Dramamine and he didn't have 1 tummy issue the whole way home. I gotten the newest "Novella" in the TWILIGHT series The short second life of Bree Tanner! That kept me entertained on the way home. I finished it.. it was only 187 pages long.
We get home and Sadie was sooo happy to see us! That was a nice welcome home.. Then we walk through the door.. UGGG the smell.. something stank in the house..
Jason says "when we left on Friday I went around and shut all the doors .. Including the laundry room door" that is where the cat's litter pan & her food & water dish are at... she hadn't ate anything since we left Friday afternoon. .my poor cat!! She was NOT the source of the smell! Callie had pooped in her lil pink potty at some point on Friday & I forgot to clean it out.. YUCK! the laundry room stank sooo bad! I got out the febreeze and sprayed the whole house down.
Shortly after we walked in the door, Jason & I started looking for Callie's dinky & we couldn't find it.. She did! So the whole weekend for her dinky was all for nothing!
Even though I slept awesome in Tyler's bed (I really did), it will feel awesome to lay down in my own bed tonight

our older 3 have had to have dramamine for road trips since they were little little! in fact, before they had chewable dramamine we had to do the suppositories! that was awful!
sounds like you had a great time despite the rocky start.
what a welcome home though OMG LOL
