home again

Well, I first must apologize for the fact that something went wrong with my mobile blogger....it started out fine -hence the "trying this out" post, and then  I ave no idea what happened. It was telling me everything was going through, but apparently......it wasn't....what a bummer becuase there were some pretty good posts  :(
Well, we made it back home after a nice long trip to Michigan. I can honestly say that minus a few moments (mostly,lack of sleep and/or meltdowns with kids) we all had a really great time!  There have been some rocky times in the past, but this trip out felt like a fresh new start and it was great!  The kids had fun getting to know their grandparents, aunt,uncles, cousins, and of course, the animals at each house! :)
This morning I dont have time to go into detail about all the fun activities that we enjoyed,but we were busy most of the time there, and it was fun!

The trip home yesterday seriously felt like it was never going to end! It took us about 10 hours to get there last week, but yesterday, we ran into construction almost at every turn, and it took us 12 1/2 hours to get home.....not fun. BUT the kids did really well considering they were in their car seats more than they were not yesterday! and we were safe. no accidents, no speeding tickets, nothing.....:)

This morning my poor hubby had to open which meant he had to leave at 6:15a.m......the good part is he will be home for dinner (of course that means I have to go get groceries so we have something worthy to be called dinner!) and then Josh called with some unfortunate news.
His boss had called him while we were away and told him he was punching him in and out every day that we were gone (long story,but they owe him back pay and this was supposed to cover it) this morning he found out that he has lied to him, and didnt do it. he also found out that his mgr has been lying about a few other things, and he needs to confront him.  Joshs job is still fine, he did get his promotion, but its gonna be tight for a couple of weeks since he now wont be getting paid for the time he was off.......

well, I have tried avoiding the pile of luggage/toys/shoes/etc...that we dumped in the living room last night, so I guess I should probably attempt to tackle it......
BTW---did anyone else love the storm this morning??  Seriously, I love thunderstorms,and was amazed that caleb actually slept through it!!
