  • Mood: stressed

I hate coming back from vacation.

  • Vacationing at DisneyWorld for a week with the kids and the grandparents was lots of fun.
  • Managing eight people's different expectations for a week of vacation is stressful.
  • My son peed himself and then threw up on the plane flight heading home.
  • The next day, my daughter broke her arm riding her bicycle, requiring surgery.
So, I'm sitting at home, with a daughter in pain, a house full of half-opened suitcases and dirty laundry, an email buffer filled with urgent work to do, and lots of tasks at home that have piled up.

Needless to say, I would love to vent for pages and pages here, but I've got to get back to doing ... something, anything, who knows.  Sigh.
