Spring Break!
At-man and Em on Spring Break
The term “Spring Break” has a whole new meaning in my mind. No longer will images of sorority girls explaining their appearance in “Girls Gone Wild” to their parents over Christmas holiday be the first vision that comes to mind. No, from this day forward whenever I think of spring break my mind will race to visions of pre-school teachers sipping frozen girly drinks in sensible swim wear, laughing at the idea of frazzled mommies’ knee deep in laundry and dirty dishes.
On the upside, it is nice for At-man and Em to spend a bit more play time together. At-man is in 5 day a week, 9-1pm 3 year old class and Em attends Mom’s Morning Out Monday and Wednesday till noon. Once we pick At-man up after lunch, Em passes out until around 4 leaving little time for them to enjoy each other before dinner. We actually got to attend play group all together today and they seemed to have fun, but more over, they had a blast with each other the rest of the day. It’s nice to see how much they are starting to get along. I was an only child who always wished for a sibling and although I realize they will be both in love, and ready to kill each other every 15 minutes for the next 15 years, I really am happy we had them relatively close together (even though I had to run my ass off to, well, to run my ass off after the two pregnancies).
I know this post has a totally different tone than your average pre-school spring break post, but it is only Monday after all. Check back in on Thursday for my “Nervous Breakdown” post…
I think my SB post was closer to the end of the week variety. The first day was fine. And even the second and third. But by Thursday, I was good and tired of it. Entertaining children was a lot easier when I only had one and she didn’t know the word “bored”

We are lucky to live very, very close to my inlaws (bet you never thought you’d hear that said). Fortunatly for me I can always get a quick break if need be. The boys are over there playing today so I can get a bit of work done. Spring break is the worst for falling behind. It’s really nice out too so I want to play outside probably worse than they do.
