Ah, winter break from school. A time when a parent's fancy turns to thoughts of "What the hell is wrong with the schools that they can't be open the week after Christmas!" This is always a tough week for every parent. The kids just had a super exciting week and, despite what the school district seems to think, none of us are out traveling - we are home and the kids are bored with the new toys and amped from leftover Christmas candy. Chaos reigns as the tree still fills too much of the living room and the dog is beginning to chew the ornaments. Cats have decided that said tree is their home and scratching post and attack any who disturb their sheltered slumber. Parents stare bleary eyed at all of it and sip more Winter Blend coffee as the youngest dances so fast to the new keyboard that they begin to blur around the edges.
Well, sounds like a good time for me to either bury my head in my laptop and write with headphones on or go to work. Either one will do. As long as the house is still standing on Monday I will consider this week a success and begin the long clean up process. Until then - God help us all.
Happy rest of Winter Break!
