Whoa! it's amazing how its so fun to visit, but ultimately we love to come back home. Many people dream about their vacation when they are at work, and then when they are on vacation are ready to get home. Then there are other people that are so excited for their vacation, and spend the whole vacation dreading to get back to work. I am trying my best to be present for it all, and the family dynamics are very interesting. We see different philosophies of raising kids, and different personalities, but ultimately as adults we can communicate and discuss and have a great time together.
Even strangers love to give advice on raising kids, I think every family has to decide what is right for them, and respect what other families have decided. The best part is when extended family supports each other through tough situations.
I start this blog at the crack of dawn before my kids wake up, and even with my whole family here, my kids still want mama 24/7. Overall I have no complaints, but when all three want me at the same time, that is the biggest challenge.
Today my husband went fishing with my father, he found it boring, my father loves it, goes every week, catches fish, and my mom makes it delicious. My mother and I took my kids to the Atlanta Zoo, very toddler friendly, tons of trees for shade, overall a good time. I am exhausted from a non stop day. My husband and I visited friends he knows in town, driving home around 6pm both my of my kids passed out in the car on the way home, and the worst thing happened, my daughter woke up, and is still up. I keep on stepping away from this blog to put her to sleep, but her little power nap in the car has revived her energy, OMG! My husband went to my brother's house to shower and get ready for the night, and luckily just came back. I swear, if its not one its the other, soon it will be time to nurse - OY VEY! However, I was just talking to someone who has an almost 4 year old child, and they are thinking of having another baby. I know now its physically taxing, but once they are all potty trained and sleeping, I will appreciate having them one after the other. I am counting down the days to get rid of all the baby stuff like the swing, pack and play, and all the baby clothes. I am honestly enjoying my little baby, I know it is my last so I am savoring every moment.
Tomorrow we are going to a beautiful hike with a waterfall in the afternoon with all the kids, and in the morning we will visit a children's program and my sister in laws museum. Fun filled busy week with kids equals not a relaxing vacation. Also I cannot be away from the baby for too long since I am only breast feeding. I was even wanting to have a date with my husband, get a mani-pedi, but I think all that will have to wait until we get back to La La Land. My family here is super busy with their lives, so the plan is to enjoy the city of Atlanta and enjoy my family.
We are here until Sunday, and plan a more leisurely trip back to California. Happy Hump Day - that means mid week for those that have never heard it before - over the hump.
