Why is it called "break"? I didn't get much of a break this past week. I ended up doing more laundry and cooking than I usually do because of the boys being home and Thanksgiving. I had to read/grade many papers, and we did a little Christmas prep.
However, we did try to put a little fun/leisure into our week. Wednesday was my birthday (35 again, can you believe it!!). We went out to dinner and my husband and kids got me a necklace and earrings. Very generous and beautiful. Thursday evening we watched the G.I. Joe movie--actually a little better than I expected. And today, Sunday, I went to Trader Joe's with my friend Kelly and her daughter Kim. I hadn't been in about a month. It was great to stock up.
I have enjoyed reading everyone's Thanksgiving blogs as well as the other blogs too. I sympathize with the stress and craziness most of us are going through. Work hard, prioritize, eat well, get plenty of rest...we'll make through finals.
I am very thankful for my family, my health, my job (and my husband's job), our house, our friends. I need to keep a positive attitude and not let the little things get me down. And tomorrow (Nov. 30) is our 24th anniversary. My husband is my best friend, and I am so blessed to be married to him.
Maybe it is called "break" because the craziness has a tendency to “break” us. :-)
