Spring Break

It has been over two weeks since I have written my blog. I cannot think about what to write about, this might be caused by either of these two completely different things. The first is I have writers block, the problem is in order to have writers block you have to be writer so this cannot be the reason. The second is that nothing exciting has happened or changed in my life. But that is not it either. I guess I am just going to have to write about everyday stuff. I hope that is okay for my readers.

This week is Spring Break, and no group of people gets more excited about Spring Break than teachers. Students think they are excited; there is no school for a week. Parents don’t usually like it because they have to find someone to watch their children. Teachers however, have had this break on their calendars for months. It is not that we don’t want to be with children, we are teachers. But, we do need a break also. This is also the last break until school is out so we (teachers) cram as much R and R in as we can.

This week I have with the help of my kiddos cleaned the garage, cleaned the house, got all of the laundry caught up, and had some time to myself. I also was able to get done at school what needed to get done. It is parent teacher conferences next week so there were some things that I needed to finish so I could be ready for that. I also had time to reread the Hunger Games. This was a must on my list for Spring Break.

Today I am going to hang out with a friend that I just don’t get to see much anymore. Tomorrow will be a restful day and Saturday is a momma daughter date day. So why is Spring Break so important? Everyone needs a break and sometimes the weekends are long enough. Trust me I have had some weekends that needed to end on Friday night. Hopefully we don’t have too many of those. We need to be able to put on our jammie pants and lounge around the house or sleep in for a few hours. I have yet to do that over break. Sometimes we just need to get caught up on our to do list. That is what I have spent this break doing. I am glad that my garage has a floor; I was beginning to think it didn’t. I am glad the floors got mopped and bathrooms scrubbed because sometimes I don’t have time on the weekends to get it done. Yes my kids do their chores but between play practice, babysitting, working, and homework the time for the big chores isn’t always there.

Well I guess I better end my blog, I can now cross off another item on my list. For all of my Havasu friends I hope you have an enjoyable rest of your break. I think I might take a mid morning nap.
