The End of the Beginning

Well, today, I'm home. It is bittersweet. My last night in Greece was quite comical. We drove around for about 2 hours (at least it felt that long :)) looking for a fish tavern. My first day there I said I wanted to eat fresh fish while I was there, and Nick was determined to get me fish :) Everything was closed. Finally, we found a place waaaayyyy out and we went. It was so yummy! There is nothing like fresh fish in Greece. By the time we found a restaurant the kids were asleep. The little one even slept in the restaurant. I don't think he ever realized we went out to eat - ha! We got home around 11 p.m. and everyone went to bed but my sister and me. We stayed up all night talking until it was time for me to pack and go to the airport. It's funny how when you want time to go slow it goes even faster. We couldn't make it stop. So, instead, I watched her eat a 1/2 kilo of ice cream :) My sis. Leaving her made me so sad. Now that I know her I don't want to be without her. I feel like I can't miss out on any more time with her, you know? I spoke to her today and it's so so weird that I was just there and now I'm not. She is coming to visit me in March and I can't wait!!!

I not only brought back my luggage, but a nasty, nasty cold. Miserable, I tell you. I will be taking meds before bed and I will be OUT! My little Zach was exstatic when he saw me. Mom didn't tell him they were picking me and he just started screaming with excitement. I missed him sooooo much! He gave me the biggest hug ever and it felt so good.

I showed him pictures of my sister and his cousins and he told me "mom, I don't want to go to New York. I want to go meet my cousins." Make my heart melt. My sweetheart!

Well, it's good to be back but sad to be gone.

Nite nite
