Spring Break

As my glorious spring break comes to an end, I took a moment to reflect on the week. Here are the ten best things about spring break for me:

1. Home ALONE. Peace and quiet- canNOT be beat.

2. Two, or more, LEISURELY cups of coffee every morning.

3. Up early with NOWHERE to go other than walk my Tucker.

4.Time to sit and be still.

5. Eat ice cream all day long as opposed to just when I get home from school.

6. Stay up late if I want. Which, apparently, I don't.

7. READ books that are above a 5th grade reading level and/or have nothing to do with school.

8. Have conversations with adults that are adult centered.

9. Not having to watch the words that fly out of my mouth.

10. One week closer to SUMMER VACATION!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
