Stress? What Stress?

As if packing up one city girl, two monkeys and a baby for a 10 day trip isn't hard enough...
Throw in a car accident,

A storm that lays trees across the road, causes a full (Sabbath) day power outage and 3 stir crazy kids pent up in a non-child proofed house,

An allergic reaction,

A teething baby,

Falling down the stairs in the middle of the night while tending to awake kids,

Getting to the airport late after the flight is closed and not even having to pose as a pathetic family with small children because we already were that family,

Loosing every card game known to man

And juggling face time between divorced grandparents.

Yeah, I'd say that is stress.

Oh my Kara!! Wow I bet you will be glad to be home. What was your lil guy allergic too?

Kara said...

We are pretty sure the reaction is from dog slobber.

From Kara's Mom's point of view - it was a positive week - our little country girl still likes to pick wild berries, no one was in the car when accident occurred, the storm chased the kids to Nana's house (yeah)! No broken bones in the fall. The airport was your own fault, you had lots of healthy snacks to get you home. It is about time you lose at cards. I think Nana and Papa were quite pleased with time spent with their daughter and her precious family!! . . . but that is just my positive spin on a great week!!! Love you Kara!!
