Back at home

We made it home safely Sunday. It was a much more pleasant trip than the drive down because we had no pouring rain this time. The kids really do well with traveling, but I had to laugh at HT. The kids were up at 5AM Sunday having only had seven hours of sleep. They had all day to sleep in the car, and JR did a little. JC is just not a sleeper so she was awake the entire time. HT though was not a particularly pleasant person. He was sitting next to JC though, and fought so hard to stay awake. He succeeded until hour 13 of our 13-1/2 hour car ride. That's right, just 30 minutes away from home and he finally fell asleep. The kids were a big help in unloading and unpacking, and it was nice to be home early enough to get some things put away and relax.

I noticed about 3/4 of the way home that I had developed a strange rash all over my arms. By yesterday morning, it was on my neck and chin as well. I took Benadryl Sunday night, and again yesterday afternoon. Needless to say, I was asleep most of the day. It's better today though, so I don't think I'm going to worry about going to the doctor. My husband took the kids to our July 4th plans and I stayed home and slept and watched TV. In my own way, I enjoyed the quiet 4th...I've never been a big fan of big parties on the holiday. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
