Spring break

Yes, I realize my last post was about resolutions...it's been a while. I know. Don't judge. It's not that I don't have anything to say, I just have very little time to put the words out there. So this short sweet post is an attempt at least.
Anyway this post is about spring break. Now that I am back to work full time - going on my second year back now - I look back on all the school breaks that I got to spend with the kids when they were young. It makes for a melancholy trip back in time because I remember how excited we ALL were for that break to get to spend time together. Today was the first day of spring break, and I got up this morning and left everyone for work. So it's still kinda a break for me - I only have to worry about getting myself up and ready and out the door While I had my usual work day of meetings and calls my kids stayed home with my husband. Even though on one level I wished I could still be the one off with them on another level I was glad that he got to have this day with them. Especially after I got sent this picture of catfish man.

 
Then this one of bluegill girl..

See, dad took them fishing in the backyard, probably not what mom would have done. As I showed off my kids catches at work, one of my coworkers asked me if I missed being with them when they aren't in school. Well, yeah, I do, but I got a to spend lots of spring breaks and days off with the kids when I was home with them full time. I'm thankful for that. Today I was thankful that my husband has an ungodly amount of vacation days compared to me. And I'm thankful he got to do spring break his way with the kids today.
