Spring Break week ~ follow the link

[Ky_Mama]

I was hoping to have a nice post about Spring Break week.  The week ended up not going so well, but also not bad all in all.  If that's even possible.

Link to today's post on the family blog.

Sorry it's a long one!  It took me almost two days to write, and I went through many tissues writing it.  It's helped me deal with the loss a little more easily, but I'm still looking forward to a weekend of Creative Therapy this weekend.  I want to try to do something for Tim's mama.  Cleaning up the fabric zone anyway so I'm sure I'll find something  :-)

On the WL front, I've been holding steady at 199.  Last week I went four days without eating much, I just wasn't in the mood.  Last night I finally danced around a bit after the kids went to bed, and SparkPeople said that was worth almost 200 calories burned.  Every little bit helps, right?  :-)  Tonight I'm going to do more, and next week will be even better for me.  I really can't wait for this Second Wind of Winter to LEAVE already!

On the home front, Spring Break is over and we don't have any more school time off until Memorial Day.  The kids are in school until June 4th, but we'll be up at Mom's for Memorial Day weekend - every year it doubles as my birthday party!  This year Dave will be there with most of his crew, and I'm hoping my husband will come with us too.  We have a tent now, and Mom just asks that anyone staying all night/weekend to bring a tent.  Her house is only so big  LOL   I still have to clear other people with Mom but I'll keep an update either here, Facebook, or the family blog.  There's still a few weeks until then.

On the house front, we finally decided that we are most definitely moving from this house by August.  It's just too small, and too drafty, and driving me batty!  We don't yet know where we'll go, but we know that we need to move - it's a start!  Lots of big decisions to make but plenty of time in which to make them.  First on the list is cleaning out the attic.... [ sarcasm] ah, looking forward to that. [ /sarcasm]  That will be an all day affair when it happens.  Hopefully it will also precede a yard sale by only a few days  :-)

Well it's time to do baths and bookbags again, so this is it for the week.  If you don't read the blog post linked above, please just keep Susan and Atwood (Tim's parents) in your thoughts and prayers.  I hope you all have a wonderful week  :)
