Daddy’s Spring Break

Working at a college, but not as a teacher, only gets you one day off for spring break, not the entire week. So, today we thought we would make the most of Chris’s 3-day weekend. Our plan was to make a list and see how many things we could get done. Sounds simple enough.

Our list had about 15 (and counting) items on it. That averages about 5 things/day to accomplish. My day started out well, Aiden slept through the night and didn’t get up until around 8 am. I fed him and myself while we let daddy sleep. I felt great with a full night’s sleep and a list (I’m a sucker for a list) ready to be tackled. Only one thing to do, get started on the day. Again, it sounds simple enough.

Everything I tried to accomplished seemed to add more items to the list. I hit the proverbial road blocks left and right. I was getting frustrated and Chris was not enjoying his “spring break” day off. I had to get it together or something was going to explode, or someone (probably me). I abandoned the things I started and decided an outing was in order. Ah, we were tackling another item on the list and getting out of the house, much better!

Aiden went to bed an hour early and so we continued with the list. Now, it sounds like we actually crossed some things off, but when all was said and done, we were able to cross off two items. Two measly, piddly items were crossed off the list. Granted one of them was to complete the redesign of my blog, so it wasn’t a total loss. Tomorrow is another day.
