Ahh, today was the first weekday of spring break! The kids were so excited! I was excited to be able sleep in and not have to do the day to day routine and deal with cranky kids... well those were nice thoughts!
First, I want to know why its called Spring "Break." Who is actually on break? I know for sure, it isn't me! I still have to get up, I still have to do the breakfast thing, I still have to argue with my kids that, no pajamas aren't appropriate for the whole day. But who am I kidding! I barely have time to get dressed myself!
The kids aren't on break, they conveniently received their science fair project form just before school let out. And they have to keep up their required 600 minutes per month of reading plus other homework. Can I add, they sure aren't breaking from destroying the house either or eating us out of house and home!
So after the first way of necessities get done, you think, man lets get out of this house and be outside! It's a beautiful day! Well, so is the rest of Boca on spring break. As you make your way to the park, and find a parking spot, you cram your kids into the enclosed play area. 1/3 of the parents are half dressed with some kinda espresso drink in their hand (which you are among them), then you have 1/3 of parents on their cell phones trying to be "in the office" without actually being in the office and then you have the other 1/3 of parents- whom I like to call hover parents who have to be with their child at all times on the play area taking up the room your child is trying to pass with no regards to how you cannot fit in the small enclosed areas, but yet cant fathom thinking of leaving your child to crawl the 3 feet from one end to the other with you, while giving all the other kids evil looks because they are invading your quality time of hovering at the park.
Then all of a sudden, because there is no room to pass, your kid falls the 5 feet to the rubber mat because there was an adult in the way, you now have to go to the doctors office with your posy and a screaming child. Oh the Joy!
So, now you have made your way to the doctors office and of course they are packed because where else would you go on spring break besides the park.... that's right, the doctor! Gotta catch up on those soooo controversial vaccines everyone is talking about you having to have... Don't worry, I wont go there! lol So You are in a doctor's office waiting an hour and half to be seen and given more dirty looks because people don't agree with your choice of birth control... He will survive! woohoo!
Now home for lunch and naps! Start that school work and projects. Little bit of play time, then dinner, then bedtime routine. Yep, the day went fast! My house looks like it was torn through by a Cat 5 hurricane. But everyone is still kicking! Well, one is trying... but that's what matters!
I SURVIVED DAY ONE OF SPRING BREAK!!! WOOHOO!! - Where's the Jack?! - Better have more for the rest of the week! But like I said, who gets the break here?!
