Girl Gone Wild
I haven't had Spring Break since I was in junior high. In high school, I worked full-time at Puppy Love dog grooming to earn money for my horse habit. In college, I had that work study job in the Psychological Services department making posters for support groups. Every year spring break rolls around and my kids are incredulous that I don't automatically get time off like they do. So this year, I am taking the whole damn week off. I mean, except for one afternoon when I have to go back to the office for a meeting. I'm going to spend the week painting, mostly, and cleaning up this house, which seriously looks like it could be on an episode of C.O.P.S. at this point. I told the kids to make a list of things they want to do over spring break, fully recognizing that we'll be able to accomplish about 10%. MY LIST- Do tax stuff
- Clean kids' rooms
