Don't Forget the BREAK in Spring Break

Me at the start of spring break. Ever feel like this?

Ahhhh.... Spring Break. 

Wonderful words for any educator. 

My daughters' Spring Break holidays were last week, and my school's holiday is this week. So.... that means that I will work the first two days of the week (12-month employees are scheduled to work), and the last 3 days I will be off while my kids are in school.

Shamelessly, I'm really excited to be off when they're in school. Of course, if you know me, I've got a loooooong to-do list of things I want to get done this week. They are all projects around the house... like framing the mirrors in the two guest bathrooms, putting up beadboard in the laundry space, choosing and purchasing new garage doors, painting the trim in the upstairs hallway...

There are also other projects on my to-do list that are a little more fun:

• Re-do my yucky Easter wreath for the front door (It's so ugly I won't even show a picture of it!)
• Make a DIY Raffia Bowl
• Use my Silhouette Cameo 
• Make a chalkboard mirror for my sister

But, even with all of these plans, I'm reminded to take a BREAK. Let my mind wander and ponder. Breathe slowly and pay attention to it. Watch a silly movie. Stay up late. Laugh with my girls and Hubs. Get a mani and pedi. Eat breakfast slowly. Blog. 

I want to be restored and refreshed by the end of the week.

 

Cheers!
