"Spring Broken " is...




...the new name our children have given the first day of Spring Break 2007. How mistreated they feel after last year's Spring Break in Hawaii, Thanksgiving in Colorado, and Christmas/New Years at Disney World. Poor spoiled babies.

My doctor said no vacations for me at this point in the pregnancy so we (umm, they) are here doing some home maintenance instead. Tonight's chore: weeding the front yard. Tomorrow morning's chore: weeding the back yard. Not as much fun as sitting on the beach or dining with Mickey, but a necessary activity nonetheless.

Sutton looked at me through wisps of sweaty hair, clenching filthy, dirt-coated hands and said, "This is all your fault."

Okaaaaaaaay...

Maybe I should hold off on telling her about my plans for us to clean out the frig, the garage and the overflowing downstairs closet. Yikes!

When you finish your yard, come on up my way--we have MAJOR yard work to do.

do you wake them up singing..."WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MORNIN??" or do you offer them a "COLD GLASS OF WATER" for payment?
