Lame ~
that's what my kids are saying about our week off so far.
No exotic locals; no beaches; no outrageously priced mice ~ nope, none of that.
Instead, we've signed up for the simplified vacation package:
(1) sleep in til 10:00 a.m. (or later, depending on your sleep preferences).
(2) all-day pajama wearing is encouraged.
(3) loads and loads of commercialized T.V. watching for the youngsters.
(4) loads and loads of blogging and Facebooking for the elder.
(5) housework/laundry/unfinished projects ~ conveniently relegated to mental "no man's land".
(6) the sucking-black-hole-of-canine-affection gets more undivided attention than he knows what to do with.
(7) a matinée may be scheduled ~ but don't get your hopes up kid!
(8) spend way too much money (of which we really don't have) on Rita's water ice and random dessert fixin's (because when a vacationer can't get going, at least they can consume some savory calories!)
(9) receive random emails/phone texts from other Spring Breakers (because they are feeling slightly bored!), whose vacation options have included touring the Grand Canyon, lounging on the beaches of Sanibel Island and fast passing it in the Magic Kingdom!
(10) getting to hang out with my kids just about every day while succeeding in fulfilling NO pressing obligations.
Hmmm, actually, our vacation plans don't sound so lame after all!

Uuummmm...Rita's Water Ice....
How can you muster up for rita's water ice when it's 30 below up there??? And, what is the fur ball doing while your facebooking?
Any time's a good time for Rita's!!
And as far as the pooch goes, heck, that's another perk of having the kids be home all week ... extra distractions!
