Internet might offer me something, I've told myself. So I googled thank you songs. Listen to the top 25 Thank You songs, suggested. They are good to listen to but how can I show everyone my gratitude with all these songs. So I give up. Here I am now writing my heart out. Our vacation started a year ago--I planned in my head everything. From the letter to the principal to the things and places my children should and ought to do. Every minute counts so nothing should be wasted. It's not everyday that we got this chance to spend Christmas with the whole family. I have my agenda filled with everything and at last we paid our tickets. Our suitcases filled to the brim with things I thought my family would love. Excited. Anxious. I was to travel alone with two girls with the energy of two young elephants.

Today is our 2nd day since we got back home. Still trying to fight sleepiness and laziness. But when you wake up at 3 am and long for 3 in 1 coffee, you realized that it's not going to be easy to get back into your old routine. So this morning I toasted some bread from my plane meal. (Yes, I took it home with me. Am I alone doing this thing?) Spread some cheese whiz, tried dialing my siblings' number, to no avail. After a month long vacation, my daughter requested  fondue and so we had it for lunch yesterday. How  I missed this but the wine made me drowsy. It felt like I was in a dreamland while trying to munch my bread amidst my tupsy turvy home. One month isn't enough. I wish to stay longer. Do more things. In the meantime, I have ton of pictures to make me smile and will remind me that there'll be next time.
