Homeward Bound

After 3 weeks in Ireland I start to kind of dread heading home. This trip we flew with Aerlingus and it was a direct flight. The trip home is ROUGH. The whole 10-11 hour flight is in daylight. AND of course some a-hole near us wouldn’t close their blind SO we had daylight the whole trip.

They were tylenol’d and benedryl’d up. I thought it was going great since Maggie fell asleep on take off.

And it started good too. Ella and Maggie slept for about 2-3 hours. T

Then Maggie was up. Like UP UP. FOR GOOD! Yeah. Owen and Ella slept for a few hours. Maggie stayed up. I didn’t get a wink of sleep. I have to say though…she was pretty well behaved! Minimal crying. LOTS of ipad watching. Some coloring with markers. Whatever it took.

And then 50 mins before landing Maggie FINALLY falls asleep…and the other 2 were sleep too….YEAH. Perfect timing.

So you know when we landed my kids were NOT happy campers. It was the middle of the night for them…(1am Irish time 5pm Cali time)…Yeah. Picking up bags and heading home…safe to say we got home finally around 9pm and everyone went straight to sleep…for the night.

Up the next morning…laundry was done so I just had to put everything away. It was hot…and my kids were SO Happy to have sun and our pool back
