Spring break! Whoot! I thought by homeschooling, I would be able to avoid these long stretches of unstructured time? Anyway, giving the kids a "break", before we get used to 3 at home All. The. Time. (Yes, I do believe I AM insane, thanks for asking...).
First up on our spring break agenda? Fighting the snow, yes SNOW, we got last night. The snow that knocked out my satellite so I don't have any of my Sunday night shows recorded. (Yes, I did swear quite a bit. But I don't feel quite as comfortable ripping off a good cuss right now, because some of my family reads these blogs now. Which is fine, but it's one thing to write a big ole 4 letter word and have someone read it months later. It's another thing to curse online at 9 am and see my husband's aunt at 11 after she may have read it.) So. BIG OLE CURSE WORD AT THE SCREWED UP WEATHER. @$#@$
Whew. I feel better now.
Sadly, we will be fighting the snow to get to Patrick's grandma's apartment for a visit. She has not been doing well, and we are hoping that she will qualify for the assisted living transfer instead of having to go to the nursing home. :( Aging really sucks...
Speaking of sucky things, did you hear about the the earthquake in Italy? Oh my God... Horrible... I hope they find more survivors instead of adding to the death toll...

SNOW? I would cry.
All 3?! Wow, good for you girl. I am trying to get our buts back in gear after 3 weeks off. I think I am the most resistant!
A friend of mine lives in Italy and I was so worried when I first heard about the earthquake. Luckily, he is okay, but it is a tragic, tragic thing.
hey tracey~it's your husband's aunt~not to worry ...say what you gotta say...besides, i've been known to let more than a few choice words rip, myself. it's nice you all were able to get to mom's. i was there at 2p and she said she was really happy to see everyone.
J~ I know! :)
We hadn't seen your mom in a while and she really surprised us in how thin she was... :( Hope the evaluation goes well today.
Oh, I LOVE the Bloggess. I would ALMOST kiss her feet.
You are taking on quite a big job! not only are you a stay at home mom (the hardest but most rewarding job in my opinion) but now you are also going to take on education as well......I wish you luck my friend! - I hope you come out alive.
Wow! I couldn't homeschool...I don't have enough patience...LOL A friend of mine is a stay at home mom to 6 kids AND homeschools the oldest two....waaaaay more patience than I could ever have!! :o)
Yeah...what is with this snow? I am not happy:(
I awakened this morning to 3 inches of snow on the ground. I feel your pain.
Your first homeschooling spring break - I have to admit I couldn't wait for our little toddler classes to start back up.
AND, we had snow all week as well. I didn't hide my bitterness very well.
Snow in spring blows! We had some flurries today and I seriously almost packed our crap and moved us straight back to sunny California. What was I thinking living in Maryland?!
