As I said this out loud this morning to wake up Luke I was reminded of the movie "Nemo." (I think I have watched that movie about 1001 times) Anyways, there is a scene where "Peach" the starfish wakes everyone up with "Today's the Day...." because its the day they think they are going to break out of the fish tank. Well, we won't be breaking out of a fish tank, but our bugs are coming home tonight. At least they are SUPPOSED to be. Don't want to jinx myself...but we are ready. Its been about 96 hours since I got some kisses from those "lippies" and I need them home.
We have only been away from Simon and Sawyer this long once before and it was in May 2006. Of course Luke and I were in Toronto for my work and this time we were at home either working or staring at the walls...wondering what the boys were doing. The next time we are away from our boys I will make sure we are somewhere fun that doesn't involve any kind of work. Of course how I am feeling right now, I will probably never let them out of my sight again. My mother would remind me of course that this is what the teenage years are for! How true that probably is....
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
