The kids are off from school tomorrow because of Martin Luther King Day. Fair enough – Martin Luther King was an important figure in our history, and deserves acknowledgment each year (I did take the time to explain Martin Luther King to Alyssa and Ryan today, since they asked). But then the kids are off from school again on Friday, due to Friday being a school in-service day. What the eff? Why can’t tomorrow be the in-service day? Why must the kids have two 3-day weekends and just 3 days of school in between? Alyssa gets bored, Ryan gets antsy because of the disruption in routine, and I go crazy with sproglets underfoot.
But I’ll make the best of the time at home with the kids. We’ll do some organizing and cleaning. I may enlist Alyssa’s help in bagging up some of the things we’ll be donating. And if I go ahead and purchase the GG collection, I’ll also ask Alyssa, and perhaps Ryan, to help me carefully package up the dishes so I can donate them.
What will you be doing this week?
