Did you miss me?

Well I've just been away for a week and a half.  Ken couldn't get time off so it was just me and the kids.

That's right, I travelled eight hours away with just four kids under seven, including a two month old with special needs.

I'm exhausted.

It was a good trip.  I found out just how much I really rely on Ken.  Not just for helping with the kids, but just that I need to talk to him regularly.  It's not just nice to chat with him, I need that.

I originally planned this trip before Jakie was born.  I was going to travel to visit the family so that they didn't all come here when we had a newborn.  I didn't know then that Jakie would have struggles with simply feeding.  I also didn't know that my sister would get engaged and spend most of our trip getting her wedding organised.

I'd thought I would have a relaxing time with my family.  I did have a lovely time with my family, but now I need to sleep for, oh, a month or so :)

I think the highlight of our trip was going ice skating.  There was a temporary ice skating rink set up where I was staying for most of it so my family decided to go.  I mean, Ken was the only person who wasn't there.  There were my parents, my two brothers, my sister, my sister's fiance, my brother's daughter and her mother, and of course, me and the kids.  It was a great night.  The girls loved going around in circles, even if they were holding on to the edge all night.  My siblings, including my big tough brothers, were happy to help them, which was really sweet to see.  Savannah laughed every time she fell over and declared that she loved ice skating.  And half an hour before the session ended I went and asked if I could pay to go on the ice.  They looked at me like I was nuts cause it was nearly over so I explained I'd been feeding my baby but I'd like a little go - so they let me go on for free!
