Winter Break

Friday 3:30 brought smiles to all kinds of faces, and not just to the students.

That all too familiar bell brought the beginning of our winter break up here in my world.

A whole week off!

It had been a very stressful last two weeks of school with some tough things happening there.

I had originally planned to go see DS1 during this break but I just can't swing the $5000 it would cost for DH and I to fly, rent a car, hotel and other expenses.

So I now have a whole week to rest (ohhhh have I been exhausted), to watch some curling, to blog, to clean clean clean, to visit with DS2 when he gets home. Maybe even to get in a walk or two.  Some baking and perhaps a new recipe to try.


The weather had been fantastic all week. Plus 0 temps and all kinds of melting. I can see half my backyard. It makes me long to put my patio set out, but we all know that winter is not nearly finished.

It feels luxurious and decadent.
