Day 5 - Return to Normal Life

On Sunday, April 22, 2012, we returned to Atlanta. We had breakfast at the resort cafeteria. Then, we went to the gift shop and Cleo selected an Ariel necklace with a pretty locket and an Ariel necklace and earring set.  We then drove to Walmart to get the souvenirs I listed in the Day 4 blog entry. 

Roger drove the whole way back – all 7 hours. He made great time even though we stopped 3 times. 

We unpacked, ate dinner, gave the kids baths and put them to bed. Cleo and I must have caught a bug because I was super nauseous and she threw up a few times.  Roger slept in her bed in order to monitor her.  I tried to make myself throw up on Monday morning, ick. I had to be up by 2am for my flight.  Roger kept the kids home with him on Monday. Cleo was doing much better during the day and both kids went to school Tuesday and today. 

I packed for my trip to Hilton Head, SC. I left on Monday, April 23 on a 5:40am flight to attend one of my company’s subsidiaries’ annual sales meeting. My boss and I spoke on Tuesday, it went well.  I caught a 5:40pm flight back to Atlanta. I arrived in Atlanta at 9:18pm. I had a one hour layover in Charlotte going and coming. 

It was so great to be home and back to normal life. 

In May we have a few things on our radar. One is picking up Cleo’s elementary school registration packet after May 1 and taking a tour of the school.  Then, my May 9-10 trip to Nashville, TN. It is an annual discovery symposium I started attending last year.  I hope to drag the kids and Roger to the Atlanta Zoo for Mother’s Day. I just love it there!  I cannot get enough of watching the pandas and seeing how big the little ones get from year to year.  And, on Mother’s Day, moms get in free to the zoo!  Cleo’s graduation is on May 24 at 6pm; the next day is her class' graduation luau and awards ceremony from 11-3pm. And then, on May 29, it’s Roger’s and my 7th wedding anniversary! 

Have a good week!
