Tonight's the end of my official Spring Break. It was fairly uneventful, but full and satisfying. I spent last weekend in Murray with Cathy watching two of her grandchildren. It made me decide that I'm definitely going to be the best and coolest grandma ever, just not right now.
My dad came down and worked in my bathrooms, changed the furnace filters, mowed my grass, all of the things that he does to let me know he cares for me. I used to think he did those kinds of things because he didn't think I was capable; I know now that isn't true.
I saw a movie with Cathy (The Lincoln Lawyer) and ate at Ditto's. I took my car registration to the court house and didn't have to pay any fee. Hooray! I'm sure I walked too much. (I may the first person to actually wear out a "boot.") I wrote quite a bit in my journal, read even more than I wrote, took several naps, spent this weekend with Carly and rode to the mountains for a family wedding shower with Mom and Carly. The redbud trees were breathtaking.
This afternoon, I've done some laundry, sat and read on my deck ( and enjoyed the pansies Carly and I planted this weekend). Now I'm thinking about a new day tomorrow and how I can make the last few weeks of school better than ever. The kids and I deserve to go out big.
Oh, and Carly taught me how to brush Grace without her having a major meltdown.
I talked with Will and Sam today. All three kids love me and know that I love them right back.
A trip to Florida could not have been any better.
