blah blah life blah blah LIFE

Sometimes it's good to have nothing exciting going on, especially when it happens in the midst of a full calendar. They've been waiting and counting and counting and waiting ... not just for all of these birthdays and other celebrations but for SPRING BREAK! Yes, they are home all week and we are planning on filling the days with nothingness. The only regular schedule will be to get to karate class, which should be a whole lot easier without the bus and homework. They are very good about getting dinner and homework taken care of before we do anything extra, even when they don’t want to take care of it and just skip to something extra.

So I might be hit-and-miss this week as plans are in the offing and appointments have been made for such exciting things as check-ups and haircuts :) I'm old-fashioned this way and don't want them to miss school for such mundane interruptions of life. Friends will be coming and going and we will be in and out, but mostly we’ll just see what the days bring as we wind our way back to the routine on Monday. The weekends are very full until after Mother’s Day, so it’s a deep breath and a sprint to the end of the school year starting next week.

In the midst of the remaining celebrations and other commitments is my visit to the school district’s wellness committee. I really have to think about what I’m going to say and how I’m going to say it. A few rough drafts here would probably help.

Until then it’s laundry and cartoons … the backyard and some art projects … karate class and some reading … spring cleaning and grocery shopping … doctor’s appointments and flashcard reviews … playmates in the afternoon and dinner together … blah blah blah … life. Isn’t it beautiful?
