Spring Break, day 2

This is the kids' Spring Break week from school. This is what has happened so far:

- Daddy left for a week in Indiana for a Flame course... unfortunate timing :(
- Friday evening pizza with my friend Cheryl and her kids
- Played for worship at regular weekend services.
- Youth group
- I preached my first "official" sermon in Youth
- Youth Band meeting to plan for a new ministry opportunity this week
- Mack had a 7:40 am appointment with the orthodontist Monday morning
- I put up and repaired the net around the trampoline.
- Several hours a day of jumping on said trampoline.
- A lengthy bike and scooter ride on the bike path with 2 of the kids' friends
- Monday with 8 friends and a communal roast beef dinner, complete with brownies & ice cream and iced coffee
- More jumping
- I'm fighting a cold...hard!
- Catching up on 5 days' worth of Beth Moore homework
- Practice today for our Youth Band's opportunity at Job Corps tomorrow
- I got a bit of a sunburn!

It's only Tuesday. This week I also want to complete at least one more song, write a new one, finish a school assignment, take the kids to the park, go on more bike rides, rake the yard, get groceries, fight this cold to the death, spend a few hours in complete solitude and completely gut my dresser and closet.

Spring Break is very different as a grown-up than it used to be in school.

Spring break is very late there compared to here. They do it early march. I guess I have forgotten about northern weather...

You are really busy too! We have been as well.

if only I could transport myself to share spring break with you...I'd even gut your closet for you and brew you green teas with herbs that would kill that cold before you even got the first gulp down! praying for strength, peace, and real JOY for you this week. may God be gracious to you and grant you sleepy kids around 6 pm every night ;)
