Melanie and I talked about her trip and I told her all the good, bad, and ugly stuff from our end. There were a few things I learned from this experience that I expected and some that were unexpected:Expected
1) Boys are fun...nuff said.
2) TV is a lifesaver...or at least a sanity saver.
3) I enjoy warmer climates.
4) I love helping out my sisters in their time of need, but I also love going home at the end of it too.
Unexpected
1) I will not have a dog in my house until my children are at least in middle school and can take care of it themselves. They are lovely animals, but they are like children, and children are enough for me for now.
2) I keep other people's houses much cleaner than my own, even when I know they won't be coming home for days. What's up with that? I am sure my husband is wondering the same thing. New goal for the new year!
3) It takes an hour to get three kids dressed in snow clothes to go out and play for 30 minutes. Worth it? Yes. Tiring? Yes.
4) You can be in earnest prayer and swear at the same time, but only in an emergency.

I enjoyed reading about your adventures in CT!
Prayer and swearing...that's funny.
You are awesome to help out. That is a lucky break with the dog and the pacie, makes for a great story. I came to the same dog realization too, thankfully before we got one.
Chez...what can I say...you are the best!
