Remembering

We just returned last night from a 3 week vacation in Colorado and Utah. And this is what I am thinking about being home:

• Arizona freeways are a lot cleaner than I remember.
• It is a lot hotter than I remember.
• My house is a little cleaner than I remember leaving it.
• A couple of my trees are more horizontal than I remember them being when I left. Obviously some pretty strong monsoon winds blew through my back yard. *sniff, sniff*
• A couple of my trees are taller than I remember.
• My grass is much longer than I remember.
• My garden is a lot weed-ier than I remember.
• My flower beds are a little dead-er than I remember.
• There are a few more black widow spider webs than I remember.
• My bed is waaaaaaaaay softer than I remember.
• I got a better night's sleep than I remember.
• Our piano is louder than I remember.
• My phone rings a lot more than I remember.
• My calendar is a little fuller than I remember.
• The grocery store is more crowded than I remember.
• The canine enjoys running around the house more than I remember.
• The husband has more meetings than I remember.
• Summer is a lot more over than I remember. Only 2 days to get ready for the first day of school.
• The children love their toys more than I remember.
• Middle daughter fell asleep on the floor faster than I remember.
• The children asked for the traditional Saturday morning doughnuts earlier than I remember.
• A/C is way better than I remember. (My in-laws have no a/c.)
• And vacations are way more funn-er than I ever remember!

I will fill in deets and pics later. But for now, we are home. Let the unpacking begin!!

P.S. If you live in my part of the valley, don't forget the Back to School Breakfast at my house on Monday at 9:00 AM. I believe it will be way more funn-er than you ever remember!
