Annoying people, The V, and Monday comes

Well we made it home in one piece yesterday! The flight was great other than the woman sitting in front of me who reclined her chair about 5 min into the flight for the entire 3 1/2 hour flight. Of course she knew that I had Taylor on my lap so I encouraged Tay to kick her chair the entire time! That's right...don't mess with a mom with 3 kids...you're not going to win! Anyway I have to say that I have amazing traveling kids and am very grateful for that...they are awesome. When we got to Toronto we made our way to the baggage claim which is in a secure area before I could see Sean so there was nobody to help...which was fine...just more of a challenge. Right when I paid for my luggage cart (2 bucks) Brayden had to go to the bathroom...so I asked the woman beside me to make sure nobody stole my cart and took the kids to the bathroom. Once done with that we make our way out to the baggage and everybody is still waiting for their luggage to appear and all 6 of my huge duffles are already coming around. That is one thing that I have when I travel...the best luck with luggage! Anyway so everybody watched as I pulled 6 big duffles off right after each other, while at the same time the boys have their hands on the turn style and Brayden gets his finger caught so he starts crying. Taylor is sitting by herself in the stroller behind me. I'm hot and sweaty at this point of course but still nobody asking to help. So I try my best at putting my tetris skills to work and build up a tower of luggage on my little cart and stroller. Still no help...so I tell Drew to pull the stroller while I push the tower and hold Brayden's hand. So we made our way to the double doors, teetering and slowly, with still nobody asking to help...I was SO happy to see Sean's waiting arms on the other side! Oh ya...also while making our way out to the parking lot I was pushing the tower and Sean was up ahead pushing the stroller with all the kids and my whole load tumbled over. There was 2 people following close behind me (a couple in their 40's maybe) and they tried their best not to walk on top of me as they past me by without even a hesitation to see if everything was okay. I guess I"m not surprised at this point. Where have the nice people all gone? They're definitely not in TO!
So we're back and loving to be home! I woke up this morning (still functioning on Calgary time) and could not crawl out of bed to get to church at 900! Hopefully next week the jet lag will be gone! Sean was on call today so we all helped and cleaned up all the Christmas stuff (totally crusty hey Jeni?). It feels so good to have things cleaned up and ready to start a new week! Drew is pumped for school tomorrow and I can't wait to kick my butt at the gym!
The best surprise of all was when we got home and as Sean opened the garage door, he kept saying that he had gotten me something small for Christmas so I wasn't expecting much and when he opened the door I saw a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling for my car to touch and know where to stop in the garage! I was so excited until I saw this big black thing hanging on the wall...I had no idea what that was until he got closer and I saw the most amazing present ever! Central vac! My vacuum has been broken for months and is the most frustrating thing to see me vacuum...the plug only works 2% of the time and so I would sit there for 10 min and plug and unplug the stupid thing until it turned on...then one of the kids would run by and simply touch the cord and all would be lost! Anyway...regardless...I"m still on a vacuum high! This is the first vacuum that I've had that actually leaves lines in my carpet! AH...Okay it's a little crazy to be this crazy over a vacuum but I expect that you people that like to vacuum know what I'm talking about!
Well I guess I should start going to bed early so that I can get rid of this jet lag...Drew wouldn't go to sleep tonight until 1030...hopefully he wakes me up in the morning!
