I am alive! :)

From the time I woke up to get ready to leave the airport in Morocco to the time I was in my bed for the night in the USA was over 24 hours. I did not sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time during that 24 hours.
Naturally, I should have been exhausted when I finally got in the bed. I crashed for a whole 2 hours and woke up wide eyed with no hope of getting back to sleep. So then I did some unpacking, etc and after an hour or two was able to get one more hour of sleep in.
Then I put in a full day with no naps, etc. which is good for the jet lag (because if I don't nap then I should be able to sleep at night, etc). I went to bed totally exhausted at 9pm and woke up at 2am! :) Doing the math that would be normal wake up time in Morocco so I know it's the jet lag. :)
So why am I rambling about sleep? Just to let everyone know that I am alive and despite the fatigue, the muscle soreness and the bruises from the trip (over 20 on my thighs alone!!!), I am so happy and grateful to be home.
I will get around to sharing about the trip and explaining why I have all these bruises all over me and my reunion with Andrew.
Life is good. It will be better when I kick this jet lag! :)

glad to know you are home and starting to adjust. I am sure the girls don't know what to make of it all yet and I know Andrew is just happy to have you all back together. Hope he is adjusting to school okay.

I'm soooooo hapy that you finally made it home! Yay! Can't wait to read the whole story (don't leave anything out!!!).
SO were you able to fly alone with the two babies after all? what was up with that?
Hope you are able to kick the jet lag soon!
Send your home address, so I can send you something.
