And Just Like That...

Spring Break is over.

Where did the week go?

Actually, I know where it went.

It went to...

• afternoon naps (all but one day)
• catching up on some of my newspaper reading...some
• organizing my kitchen
• organizing some closets
• organizing my recipes
• organizing the kids' bathroom (and planning how to "grow it up a bit"
• buying a new kitchen mat...it was time for the Christmas one to go :)
• blogging
• playing with a little puppy
• Sorry games
• a movie day with the cousins
• fun at the park (pre-snow)
• pinning recipes and school sites
• answering e-mails
• exercising
• reading books with the kids
• a major toothache.  Oh, I still have that.
• cleaning off some "hot spots"
• a date night with the hubby
• eating pretend play dough food
• Easter dress shopping with the girls
• menu planning/grocery shopping
• LOTS of cooking
• responding to my jury duty notice
• cleaning up the kitchen. Over and over and over
• cleaning the cabinet under the kitchen sink
• vacuuming dust bunnies
• laundry
• visiting my sister (and her kids)
• texting friends

I know a lot of people had a much more exciting spring break than I did. I have seen the pictures and the updates on Facebook.

But I am not complaining.

Other than the yucky weather, I wouldn't change a thing about our spring break.

We enjoyed time as a family.

We got some organizing and spring cleaning done.

We rested.

We truly took a break.

Now it is back to school...let the last quarter whirlwind begin!

Spring Breakin'...

Wooohoo!

It is spring break!

Well, it is spring vacation.

No, that isn't right either.

At home with four kids, it isn't really a break or a vacation. :)

It is just spring "out of school". 

I am somewhat teasing.

I love my job, love my class, love teaching.

But I know the students were ready for some time off, and so was I.

Even at home with four kids.

No, no big plans.

For a brief time, I considered a family trip to San Antonio (on my "must see" list).  Or Kansas City.

But in the end, we decided to hang out.  At home.

And I am thankful for that since some family is coming to visit.

We always love time with the cousins.

So, no official plans for spring break.

A spring break that may actually feel like spring this year.

But I always have unofficial plans.

Things like...

• Catching up on blogging (or quitting...one or the other. Depends on my mood :)
• Afternoon naps
• A pedicure at some time. My old pedicure has grown out now to the end of my toenails
• Trying new recipes
• Organizing.  Lots of organizing.  And getting rid of things we don't need.
• Exercise.
• Getting outside with the kids.
• Maybe a few "around town" activities. Like the library.  Or short hikes.
• Games with the kids (board games, that is)
• Catching up on reading newspapers
• Beginning the "clothes" switching of the season
• A little shopping here and there
• Lesson planning
• Catching up on DVR'ed shows
• Grocery shopping
• Not setting my alarm clock for the week!

Exciting, I know. :)

What are your plans for the week?
