The Holidays

I do love Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone is nice. You get to see family and friends that you don't see very often. AND you get to eat a lot.

The only downside?

These so called school "vacations". Don't get me wrong. I love my kids. And I know that they need breaks from school. But, really, it's not a vacation. At least not for the parents.

My kids get a week off for Thanksgiving. That's 9 days (including bookend weekends) that they are home. 9 days in a row. 9 days of trying to entertain 2 children.

I looked at the calendar today and realized that there are only 3 short weeks until Christmas vacation. Where there will be 16 days that must be filled.

Is it time for my vacation yet?
