We now return to our regularly scheduled.....schedule.

Our week of no schedule is over. The kids are in bed early tonight after over a week of staying up past bedtime. Our week of sleeping in and putsing around all morning in our PJ's is over.  Tomorrow it is back to the grind.  I thoroughly enjoyed my week off with the kids.  I only worked a short day on Tuesday. We played games, built with legos, read every day, snuggled up and watched movies, ate snacks, went to the movie theater twice, went out to lunch.  Had sleepovers.....

....and just enjoyed spending time together.


New Years Eve we had our annual gathering at Chuck E Cheese with our neighbors.  It's always a great time.  The kids have a blast, as do the adults...some of us adults are a bit competitive. lol

Chucky is about to throw out some free tickets.

I even stayed up till midnight!  OK, so I may have already been in bed under the covers reading, and it may have been lights out at 12:01, but hey it's longer than I've stayed up in past years. 


I wish this break would have lasted longer. Tomorrow it's back to waking up early for school, homework, and cub scouts. I need to get back to my work outs.  After skipping a week and all the yummy holiday dinners and desserts I've eaten, I'm afraid to step on the scale.    The plus side of school starting back up is I'll have some free time with the kids in school to finish getting the house back in order after the holidays.  I have only half-undecorated.  It always seems to take forever.  And I need to find room for all the new toys.  

Well I better go.  It's almost my bedtime....yes, I'm back to having a bedtime too.
