It's spring break for the kiddos this week and they (my 4 kids) are at the beach with their Grandparents!
So, really, that makes it spring break for Mom & Dad too!
A few things that I have noticed this week...
- While the majority of time my kids drive me bat shit crazy with fighting & whining, I truly do not know what to do with my time or myself when they are not here.
- I no longer know how to prepare a meal for 2 therefore we have been forced to eat out a lot.
- I still don't ever mind eating out.
- I miss those little punks like crazy.
- When I am not bat shit crazed from all of the fighting & whining I am actually able to be creative. That is a really nice thing to realize, by the way.
- Mornings are amazingly calm when it is just me that I have to worry about.
- I miss those little punks like crazy.
- I still know how to sleep until noon on the weekend.
- My hubby & I will be the empty nester's eating dinner at 4:30 pm because we don't like to go home from work & then leave again later for dinner. Wait, that is assuming that I never regain my ability to prepare a meal for just 2.
- I miss those little punks like crazy and I can't wait for Saturday evening when they come home!
I have been doing some creative stuff this week and will share pics in the next couple of days. I tried taking photos with my iphone but they just don't turn out as well so I am going to take better photos to post.
So, what have you and your family been doing for Spring Break?
i love when all of the kids are away
it's so nice to not have to watch the clock
enjoy!

Our spring break isn't even for another week! I think we are just going to stay home & veg out.
