I should have a t-shirt printed with this. Moms all over the nation will be clamoring to buy them.
Although my spring break was woefully uneventful. I was all prepared to write a blog post, all peachy and happy on day one and then ripping out my hair by day 10.
But it really didn't go that way. It was calm and relatively peaceful every day.
Sunday evening we did come close to a melt down. Because Jermaine is addicted to the XBox Live. I didn't think it could happen, but it has. My 17 year old son is addicted to it. I think I need to find him a treatment program. Stat!
Other than that? No real drama. The twins had track practice almost every day. Coach Nihells sure knows how to tire them out! The man is a saint for introducing the heavy conditioning for the outdoor track season during spring break!
Aaron spent his time playing the Xbox and playing outside with friends. We did nothing remotely educational either. No reading. No writing. Just a little 'rithmetic.
I wonder if I can get the mellow troops to help in the Spring Break aftermath cleaning spree. They may not have been pills, but they sure are messy!

I'm on Spring Break
It's Spring Break here in Roselle, Illinois.
Spring Break=Kids, No School.
So why am I suddenly so unmotivated? It's almost like I am also on Spring Break.
Cook dinner? But I'm on spring break!
Vacuum the living room? But it's spring break!
Watch the kid? Hey, I'm on spring break here!
The sad thing is that being a stay at home mom means nearly every day is spring break. Seriously, how much cleaning can you really do? Laundry is endless, so I don't even count that as a chore. Cooking comes second nature.
But for Jim--who really could use a Spring Break--his days are filled with never-ending work and stress. I feel really bad for him.
Plus, it's day 2 of Spring Break, and I don't even have anything to bitch about yet.
No one's threatened to kill anyone else. Well, Jermaine did call Aaron "retarded" yesterday and I had to yell a little about that.
Aaron went with me to bowling today and was good as gold. Seriously, I was dreading it--okay, seriously dreading it--but with a full McDonald's breakfast and my Ipod touch, he was content to sit for 2.5 hours while I bowled. And he only asked to go to the arcade once!
Maybe I'll get motivated to do something. Or maybe I'll watch "Jag" on Sleuth. That David James Elliot guy--or whatever his name is--is pretty cute.
