There's a quip in our family that, "No good break goes unpunished." This maxim resulted from our job experiences in our two disparate yet similar professions--and could apply equally well to the before & after periods for anyone's vacations. Having said that, however, I must admit that our return to normalcy this year hasn't been like this! Of course, two of the kids were ill during the trip, the other two were ill immediately after the trip, & none of us had to rush back to work or school the instant we returned home from Yankeeland. All these facts helped with that perception. In fact, the two days I've worked a tad late this week trying to tie up loose ends before participating in mandatory job training most of next week haven't fazed me in the slightest.
The forecast for next weekend's excursion to the Blue Ridge mountains is calling for scattered snow showers on Saturday. Guess I'd better pack the 9 y.o.'s snow pants just in case!
