It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

The vacation is over. Today we are packing up, and leaving tomorrow. The lucky ones are flying home from Florida - will take them about 7 hours door to door with airport waits and suck. The other three of us are driving.

Yes, I will leave Florida tomorrow morning, I hope by 8 am, and drive home to Toronto. We will stop somewhere overnight, and I definitely won't be in contact until Monday. Try not to miss me too much!

We are still debating the route. I am not sure why - Husband has already made up his mind and no one is changing it. I think he just wants me to disagree with him so that he can be right. So far, I haven't been taking the bait.

24 hours in the van with Husband and Son Two. I read my last book today, so it means I will have to talk to Husband on the way home. Plus we are taking the mountain route home so the radio won't be working. Son Two has a DVD player with movies picked out, a Nintendo DS, books and snacks.

I am tired just thinking about it. And I know it is all in my head, but I have been going to the bathroom every twenty minutes today just because I can.

The packing isn't done. I promised the kids that they could each pick out a treat for trip home tomorrow. And of course, we had the most beautiful day yet today, so I am not sunburned!

Can you tell I can't wait to get home?
