Home Sweet Home, Whatever!

  Is it true that most people feel they need a vacation after their own vacation ends?  We have been home for 2 weeks from our Disney vacation and I don't feel I need another vacation, although if you would like to take the kids for a weekend it would be appreciated. 
  After two weeks of fun in the sun, and a little rain, we finally returned home to enjoy the balance of the summer in our own back yard.  It appears the kids would like anything but, and have not hesitated in letting us know, in many ways.  There have been arguments, physical fighting, yelling at each other and meanness from all four of them.  "You are a meanie" has been one of my favorites, followed by "NO" to almost every question.  This was expected after being away for two weeks, yet it still didn't make it any easier for my wife and I.  Our best response has been, "do you want to be spanked?", like we could ever spank our kids.  Oh yeah, except for thing2, he has a target on his butt that is just waiting.  We did create some new rules, stay tuned.
  By the way, I am now referring to my kids as thing1 for the oldest, all the way to thing4 for my daughter.  The way they have behaved I would say this is a fair representation.  Not to mention our Disney experience and the t-shirts we purchased for them.  Speaking of Disney, it is these memories that have helped us make it through the days.  Mickey making the water dance at Fantasmic, or Belle winking at me (don't listen to anyone, she winked at me and if she didn't, I winked at her), or the fireworks over the castle, it was all amazing to see.  So amazing that the kids, along with mom, have started a Disney fund for next year.  We have yet to tell them that the fund is actually meant to pay off this years visit. 
  All in all the getaway was incredible, and yes, my wife and I would now like our own little getaway from the kids.  If it can't happen we understand, but don't be surprised if my wife or I appear on a milk carton reading,
"Missing, father of four, last seen trying to hit on Princess Rapunzel.  Anyone knowing his whereabouts keep it to yourself for 48 hours as he will be back when he realizes he is no prince."   Or,

She had attitude, just like the women in my life.

"Missing, mother of four, thought to of run off in search of Jack Sparrow.  If spotted please let her know he is not real and has less money than her husband."
  Can't wait until next vacation.
