Last week, three out of the five of us were on Spring Break. The boys' break at preschool is this week, and if we had had any great plans to go anywhere, we would have just taken them out for a week. Sadly, we had no plans beyond my least favorite pastime...cleaning. So, they went off to school and my mom, husband and I tackled closets, baseboards and dusty ceiling fans (okay...they wouldn't let the pregnant lady on the ladder, so I got out of cleaning the fans). My mom and I washed and sorted every single article of baby/toddler/child clothing that the oldest three have out grown and got all of the little tiny baby things ready for the new baby boy. He even has a bed to sleep in set up in the playroom which will be his room eventually. We took about 4 big bags and bins of toys to the Salvation Army, and there are still too many toys to know what to do with, but we are going to go through and purge again one day this week when all three of them are at school. My hope is to get it all down into about 2 tubs or baskets that can be kept in the baby's room and pulled out to be played with when needed.
Other than the cleaning, it was nice to have a break from my doorbell and cell phone constantly ringing (a necessary evil with my job). It was nice to sit down in front of the tv with my husband (he even watched American Idol with me) on a weeknight. He usually spends his evenings after the kids are in bed doing lesson plans or grading, which is fine because I am usually out in the dorm anyway checking in with the girls about the dramas and traumas of their day, so we don't get much quality time during the week as a rule.
Maybe next year there will be a beach calling our names over spring break, but for this year it was nice just to BE. What 36 year-old, 7 month pregnant lady really needs to be wearing a bathing suit in public anyway? Not this one, that's for sure!
