After a 9+ hour drive home yesterday, we officially hit the ground running this morning! Our school calendar grants us one week in mid-February to get away from it all. While some choose warm vacations, my guys prefer the slopes this time of year. Our trip was fantastic {more on our adventures later this week} but the coming home is ALWAYS the hardest part. I mean look at that blue sky and those fresh tracks!
I am still trying to master the art of {re} entry. What did I do this morning? I got the kids up a bit earlier than usual. This gave us more time to get all of the essential tasks complete. I filled their tummies with gooey cinnamon rolls. While vacation is over, it is nice to have one last decadent treat to ease back into normal life. Lastly, I reassured Little Man that returning to school/work is hard for everyone. To go from skiing all day with your buddies to sitting all day at a desk is a tough transition. A quick kiss and a reminder to “BE GREAT” and they were out the car door.
It usually takes a few days for life to return to normal. What are your tricks to easing back into real life?
