The Busy Life of a Single Mom

As a teacher I must say how excited I am that Spring Break is fast approaching. By lunch today I will be home and off work for a week.  I’m so excited, but I also think of the million and one things I can accomplish this week and wonder how many I will give a serious effort? Do you have lists to do always? It seems like I do.  I have things I’d love to do around the house this week, things I’d like to do in preparation for the last 9 weeks of school, and family and friends I want to be sure to visit. So where is the vacation I’m asking myself? Should I throw it all to the side and actually just relax? My thoughts for now are that I’m going to dedicate vacation days, to do days, and visiting days so that I don’t come back to work even more tired than I am now. How do you handle your time off?
