Last year during Spring Break, we visited my family for part of the week and then returned home to enjoy the last several days catching up on things, the boys hanging out with their friends and relaxing.
The morning after we returned from our trip, I had an interesting conversation with Ryan (12 at the time):
Me: Are you sad that your Spring Break is almost over?
Ryan: Yes
Me: I am too.
Ryan: Why would you be sad? Aren’t you always on Spring Break?
Me (laughing): So you think I’m always on vacation?
Ryan (trying to redeem himself): Yes. I mean no. I mean…since you work from home you are always here…always on Spring Break.
Really?
I guess he must have seen me lounging around watching soap operas eating Bon–Bons while they were all at school. Darn! I hate being caught in the act!
