Fall Break

We just had a lovely four day weekend.  It was Fall Break.

Originally, we planned to go camping, but Bill couldn't get time off of work, so we stayed home.  That is actually quite alright with me.  I was feeling overwhelmed with trying to pack and organize in my after school hours, and then came down with a mild head cold on Wednesday morning.  I got home that afternoon and promptly went to bed for the rest of the day.

I woke up feeling fine on Thursday, though. 

I wish I could tell you all the exciting things we did during our time off our regular schedules, but really, we were a bunch of bums (with the exception of Bill, who worked).  We slept in, we ate whatever and whenever we wanted.  We watched movies and read books.  We stayed up shockingly late and slept in again.  I only officially 'got dressed' on Friday evening when I went out on my date night with Bill.  The rest of the extended week end was spent in exercise clothes because they are so dang comfy!

As you can imagine, the kids found it extremely difficult to get out of bed this morning.  They were both late for school.  Frustrating, because Helena is already in the doghouse with the school over tardies and has to attend 'tardy school' to get her grade back in one of her classes.  Harumph.

Guess we'll all be going to bed early tonight to try to get back on schedule.
