I am finally home. I am eternally grateful to my parents for letting us stay with them for 5 weeks. Yes, 5 weeks. It was nice to be able to recover knowing that there was someone to take care of the children. But, all good things must come to an end. Yesterday, we packed up the car and made the 12 hour trek back to Rhode Island. (We had 2 puking kids for the entire trip and now the husband has the bug, but that is another story for another day.)
Today was our first day back home. It was nothing like a typical day. Normally, I homeschool the big boys on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is still very tiring to talk and reading out loud makes for a lot of spit. Homeschooling is going to go on hold for another week (or two....or three). So, instead we decompressed from the drive (and the puking) and pretty much watched TV all day. I got the big boys' clothes put away and all of the downstairs stuff put away, but other than that, we sat around.
Travelling and eating was a bit of an adventure. I was not the best eater on the road.. I had a protein shake before I left Virginia and then I had a chocolate milkshake for lunch. It was not enough. I did even worse with the water. I did some driving and it was hard to drink out of the syringe. Now I am playing catch up with the hydration.
But, now we are home. I am going to see the Rhode Island oral surgeon tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see what she has to say then.
It's good to be home!!
