Getting out to have a fun weekend with friends is a memorable treat, and while it's always well worth it, it doesn't come without a price to pay on the homefront when I get home.
My reactions (in order) when I walked in the front door this afternoon:
1. "DID EVERYONE SURVIVE THE TORNADO!!!!!!"
2. (sigh of relief...the family appears to be alive)
3. Wonder why the baby is naked - and question whether that is chocolate on her toes or something worse
4. Sniff around to figure out what that smell is
5. Futilly fend off husband's advances (the only reason I even try anymore is because I still can't find a pair of jeans that fit over both my butt and his hand).
6. Greet the children.
7. Count the children. ("Three.....Don't we have four?")
8. Ask why one is missing. (at a friend's house)
9. "HEY! Who ate all my Thin Mints?" (it was the twins - I almost died of "not surprised")
10. Mobilize the troops to restore what used to be my home, wistfully recalling the ignorance of 7 minutes ago.

ha ha...sounds like a nice home coming.
Well at least we had fun while it lasted!
Yesterday Jeremy was telling us, in light of our complaining about tests and such, that "it's hard to see right now but you're in the time of your lives." Maybe he's right.
This so funny but so true! I have had this happen to me a few times too! Some times I wonder is it worth it? It is always nice to get out though no matter what awates us when we get home! We need our girl time every once in a while!
