At Last!

Spring break is officially on here in the mitten.

These 9 consecutive days off from work every March is one of the top two "perks" of my job.  (Quotations are used because that's sarcasm.)  It is, however, nice to have the break after the madness that is winter sports to recover and to prepare for the absolute looney bin that spring sports will be when the games start.

Plus it affords the opportunity to head home and see my Dad.  It's rough time of the year for the family as we approach one year since my Mom passed.  Not that getting all the family one room will be harmonious and good times...nope.  Awkward silence, superficial conversations, anger, and hurt feelings will most likely be on the menu.  But it's family.  You do what you have to do.

That's the first few days, after that?  No plans.  Maybe see a movie, go to a museum, read a book or two, being a lazy ass and leave a KP indent in the couch...anything is possible!

And, it means only 8 weeks until the end of the school year...not that I'm counting or anything.
