What a Day

The past week has been really busy with kids and kids and kids. It’s been wonderful. They are back to school today and this is the first time in two years that they have all been with us for a few school days since they are usually sleeping at their dad’s Sunday night through Thursday night. It creates a little bit of tension because they have to move up their schedules by at least 15 to 20 minutes to still make school on time. If you are a girl with long hair and a slight case of maternally-passed-on OCD and over planning, you’re getting up a lot earlier just to make sure you didn’t forget anything. So early, in fact, that it’s almost still yesterday. If you are a boy that takes after your mom and hates the early morning sun like a vampire, you try to sleep those extra precious minutes and then shriek in dismay to learn you really, actually, for reals have to get up earlier to still have time to use 3/4 a bottle of Axe. Mark my words – you will have to go through the entire day Axe-less. You poor fellow.

We did manage to squeeze in a quick trip to San Diego to see friends during Spring Break. Very low key and fun. I can’t tell you a lot about that night, since it’s top secret and everything, but I can link to this photo that tells a pretty great story all by itself.
