On April 3, I decided that I would not be writing daily on my blog. It is funny, some nights, I go to bed thinking that I forgot to do something for the day! It got to be such a habit for me.
I have still written several times this month and posted stories of kindness. I still read other bloggers entries and when I am feeling inspired or whimsical, like tonight, I sit down and write.
Tonight ends our Spring Break. Back to reality tomorrow morning when that alarm goes off at 6am. Back to schedules and routines. I got used to being at home. We had a “staycation” this year. No trip for us. Drew was lucky enough to be invited to Great Wolf Lodge with the family of one of his good friends. DJ was busy with baseball.
Drew started the week off on a high note with his Spartan Race. The weather was gorgeous and we knew if the whole week could be like that, it wouldn’t matter that we were staying home and not going anywhere. Well, it wasn’t. We had torrential rain on Monday and SNOW flurries two days!
At least it forced me to get some Spring Cleaning done – nowhere near as much as I had hoped to do, but some. The Veterans came and picked up a lot of “stuff” that was cluttering up the rooms. I always joke that the house feels lighter after a donation pick up.
I was lucky enough to get to celebrate my best friend’s birthday by taking her to lunch. I did some collections for the Prom Dress Drive and for the local food pantry. Dave and I used some gift cards we had been saving for awhile, and got to see a movie and have lunch.
I got to experience everyone’s vacations through Facebook. When I realized that DJ’s Spring break won’t ever fall at the same time as ours, it motivated me to look into a trip over our holiday break from school. Maybe it is something to strive for. Looks like I need to sell a lot more jewelry!! 🙂 🙂
