i remember a time when i actually looked forward to it...
Spring Break is definitely a different experience from that as a student to that as the overseeing adult. Due to the particular workings of my daughter's private school, instead of just one week of holidays, we've been 'blessed' to have two whole weeks of time away from school. (It is a year-round school scheduled on a seasonal break timetable. Due to her age program, she's been off since March 3rd.) Now, if we had a shitload of money to fall back on, we might have possibly spent this week in Sunny and Not Snowing Florida, visiting that non-stop commercialized world of Mickey Mouse, but alas, we are are a limited budget that cannot allow for jetting to foreign countries. Bahhh.
So, we've been doing a lot of 'free' stuff. Spending time at the public library, going to the zoo, taking walks and runs on the trail. Having 'art project' sessions. Just hanging out at home. But, with it being the 15th and not the 22nd (her first day back), time is just dragging....on....and....on.........
I'm trying to hold on to these moments, though, no matter how difficult it becomes to find something worthwhile to do. See, Kole starts back as a first grader, and those days of part-time schooling are over. She'll be a full-time student, then. And I guess, there will be a time where I would have wished I could have held on longer to a time where she was young enough to spend time at home being my 'baby', instead of entering the world of grade school.
Time goes on... and it's both a good thing, and a bad thing, indeed.
