We just arrived home from a short little trip to visit family and friends out of the state. Unfortunately we had to leave 2 days early because we <strong>caught an awful stomach virus </strong>which was pretty rough. We made it home last night and I've been spending most of my time sleeping and hoping that this bug goes away quickly.

During the 5 hour drive I was able to listen to a bunch of great podcast's (did I mention how much I'm loving my IPod). I came across a great podcast done by a couple who are digging out of debt. (more on this later!) It was incredibly encouraging! I came home, although sick as a dog, with a renewed focus on getting OUT OF DEBT!

<strong>So... what else did I learn this week:</strong>
<ul>
	<li>Traveling with 2 toddlers by myself isn't really that bad.</li>
	<li> Packing clothes in laundry baskets was a great idea!</li>
	<li> Bringing books to read is a joke! I never have time to read!</li>
	<li> My Ipod was be a life saver. Instead of listeneing ot Dora the Explorer a hundred times I can enjoy podcasts and audiobooks!</li>
	<li> I always pack too much food (what do I think, people won't feed us?!?!)</li>
	<li> I never have enough time to see everyone.</li>
	<li> I have the BEST friends!! I'm pretty sure they still love me even though we may have passed this stomach bug to everyone we saw. **sorry girls</li>
	<li>If you head up north hoping to see snow, don't be discouraged when it snows 22 inches back at home and does NOT snow where you are headed.</li>
	<li> <strong>There's no place like home </strong></li>
</ul>
