Just a few minutes more...

before I head to bed for the last night of vacation. Tomorrow the kids return to school and I return to work. I teach visual arts to elementary school children, so I am not sure if that truly qualifies as 'work'. However, since I still have what I will term as walking pneumonia, I am dreading a return to schedules. I have really enjoyed this vacation. Not because we did anything extraordinary; we didn't. But I got to stay up and sleep in. I got to play games with my family and watch movies. I got to disregard the clock and the calendar! That last one was most significant for me. That completely disconnected feeling from time constraints is what I will miss the most tomorrow morning as I return to marking time.
