Vacation. Day 16

Today we head home to Colorado!

I am, to say the least, overjoyed...not that our visit wasn't mostly pleasant...but we'll leave it at that.

I am trying very desperately to not say bad things about my in-laws right now.  I am afraid if I start, I may not be able to keep it in my head, and that the stinging, derisive words would come tumbling out, faster than I could stop them, and irreversible damage would be done.

I will post a much more detailed account about the highlights of our visit, and, when I can visit the last 16 days with a rested and refilled spirit (much cuddling of my new niece, much coffee and tea with mom and SIL), and a body that has slept in my own bed, showered in my own shower, and eaten my own cooking for a few meals will help to soften my image of the events of the last 2 weeks.

There were things done and said on the part of the in-laws that may not have been meant to hurt (I am trying not to assume motive or purpose) but were very hurtful and almost caused BB to come unglued.  There were several times that I have fought back tears, and thought to myself, this is not what visiting family should be!!!!!!

However, it is our last morning, the children are, amazingly, still sleeping (who knew it'd take 16 days to get back to normal sleep cycles???), and the coffee is brewing...
