So it’s March Break. Apparently. I think we kind of missed the memo. I think we need to start thinking about scheduling our vacation time around school vacation time. Bear with me, I’m learning slowly, my kid is only in JK.
So, we aren’t away. The kids are at daycare. I’m at work.
Except, I did manage to schedule one fun thing this week: tomorrow, I am taking the afternoon off to take both Callum and Oliver to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live.
I have exceptionally high expectations of this afternoon together because (a) it’s costing me a fair bit of money (kids’ live shows = EXTORTION); (b) my kids, especially Callum, love Yo Gabba Gabba; (c) I love Yo Gabba Gabba because I can pretend to be a hipster parent for 5 seconds when they have the Shins or the Ting Tings on the show, and we don’t watch it that often so I am not totally sick of it; (d) Chris and Patrick from Sloan are going to be dancey-dancing with the cast during our performance; and (d) I get to sit with Mamalooper and Cheaty and their kids (who I am sure my kids are going to love). And hopefully we’ll hang out for a bit afterwards.
Thankfully, daycare has their act together more than me, and is also taking Oliver on a few field trips this week.
And I’m going to do my best to make it a bit more special than usual, even though we’ll be at work and dealing with the usual crap that comes with life being busy.
Because that boy? Adores school. And he’s going to be missing it this week.
(Weirdo.)
He also doesn’t know what’s in store NEXT weekend, when him and his brother have their first sleepover at their grandparents’ house without their parents. Now that? Will be a March Break.

They don’t really understand about breaks though do they, as long as they’re having fun. And although the boychild loves school, he loves not being at school even more, especially when he’s at his childminder’s who I think he loves more than me now… sigh

have fun this week – at YGG, and at home by yourself next wekend! It’s business as usual around here too, but I guess we did just go on vacation a couple of weeks ago. Could use another one.
