Back to Normal

And we're back. The second half of Christmas break was great, the only exception being all of the driving. Central Texas was lots of fun and while there we did some serious shopping at the new Ikea in Round Rock and the outlet mall next door (and we got there by driving past a town called Rattlesnake Junction, so we knew we were in Texas). We headed home yesterday and ended up stopping in lovely Beaumont, Texas to spend the night. The baby did well on the trip, but he's got a definite limit on how much car time he can tolerate. Our trip tested those limits. Although Archi-Sapper and I both enjoyed the trip overall, we agree that if we do this trip again we need to do it in a larger vehicle. A Honda Accord isn't enough room for mom, dad, baby in car seat, dog, stroller, luggage and presents.

So far, my New Year has been productive. We got home around 3:30 and after Archi-Sapper unpacked the car, I went grocery shopping. I plan to make some chili this week from the new Rachael Ray cookbook my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas, so I needed a few ingredients for that. I cleaned the kitchen, packed the baby's daycare bag, paid a few bills and have even read some blogs. I can't believe I go back to work tomorrow.
