It hurt me more than it hurt you

Well, this digital mom didn’t mean to be on national TV and then suddenly disappear off the blogosphere. After the Today Show segment aired, our family packed up and went on our family vacation to the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament. It was in Tampa this year, which was a wonderfully warm treat.
The hotel we were in had internet fees of $15 a day and we refused to pay that, neglecting our blogs until we returned home. And today being the first full day home, I knew it would be a bit rough, so I didn’t plan any big blog stories about what did or didn’t happen on our trip.
Taking a vacation with a three week old isn’t all fun and games, and recovering from traveling with a three week old is a bit worse than that. I spent most of the day holding and feeding Tebow, while trying to keep Fuller occupied and not neglected. Tomorrow should be better, but only if I head to bed right now.

Ouch! $15/day? Incredible.
We’re going on a retreat this weekend (Fri-Wed) where there will be TWO computers in a room for us to share between the 70+ people who will be there. I’m not counting on much internet time and can’t imagine the emails that will pile up.
Glad you made it back home.

ah yes, traveling with kids and babies is always an adventure…..
both of my children are completely different when it comes to traveling. i noticed that when he was a baby nathaniel did not take well to change so sleeping and eating always became and issue when he was not at home.
hope you are able to relax and adjust back to “normal.”

Fortunately Tebow is so new we still don’t have a good idea of how he sleeps (or not sleeps, lately). But the fussiness and needing to be held has ramped up since we got home. Fuller however, has always slept well when we travel (sometimes more), but turns into someone different the first few days we get home. It’s my lack of sleep that I think is making this return home a little worse. And… Tebow and I are traveling again this weekend!

Aunt Lois,
The thing about the $15 a day is when Damon made the reservation a year ago, the internet was free in the rooms. Hope you are able to wade through the emails quickly when you get home! I’m almost through all of mine.
