Post-vacation quiz

Ah, California... and the letdown of being back...

How do you know if you are suffering from post-vacation pain? Take this simple quiz.

Do your children still expect meals to consist of a fruit, a vegetable, a grain, a meat and ten treats? (thanks to grandparents...)

Does your husband ask why 5 of the last 6 meals have consisted of cheerios, marshmallow maties, and milk and the only one that was not cold cereal was the one he made?

Are your children still expecting to be constantly entertained?

When you take your children to the store do they start putting things in the cart and saying, "we're going to need this"?

Are you and your children crying at the cold when the thermostat temperature in the house is 8 degrees higher than before you left?

Are you the only person willing to take a nap or go to bed on time?

Is your spouse ticked that all of local buffets don't have fresh fish and amazing sushi bars?

Do the words "in" and "out" cause uncontrollable drooling?

If the answer to all of these is yes, welcome to our home. I think David is looking forward to going to work...

Ah yes. I could definitely relate to these. Loved the ones about the naps and meal times. Those are definitely applicable in our house.

Isn't vacationing fun? Until you go back home and have withdrawal... We got a double dose. First to St. George for a week and then to Idaho for 4 days with only 2 days in between!

Loved this. It is definitely transition time for all of us. And we didn't even get to go to California! Glad you made it back safely.

Aaahhhh...I love vacation, until it's time to get back into the swing of things! BTW did you notice the "In N Out" that just opened in St. George? As one of our favorite burger places for a long time we were thrilled to see it open in our home town....the wait in line was long, but worth it! California sure has done some things right!
