Cruise and Stuff

I went on a cruise last week. Yeah... that's right! It rocked! I had a great time hanging out with my sister and meeting mom's from all over the country. I hated them a lot less than I thought I would, and actually liked a few of them quite a bit.

It was wonderful to be away from the kiddies for just a spell. I missed them most when I saw other fat faced cherub boys looking at me or beautiful princess toddler girls running and laughing.

I was a bit sick but nothing so bad as to keep me out of the sun (or the dance club). There was certainly something special about just being Andrea for a bit and not worrying so much about being Sammy and Claire's mom and Justin's wife. All the titles make me tired just typing them.

Coming back to the house wasn't all that easy. I like to think I've loosened up a bit from my OCD youth, but coming home to the daddy disarray almost made me vomit.

It took me almost three days to get things back to "my way". Now that it's done I feel tired... and almost ready for another retreat.
