what?! break is almost over?

Time flies when you're having fun. Or not. It just flies. Right out the window. What's up with that?

Monday: So even though I didn't finish everything I wanted to, I did manage to replace the downstairs faucet, the fill valve in the commode of same said bathroom, replace the license plates of the minivan, replaced the driver-side headlight, and all the wiper blades (just in time for the torrential rains too). I rock!

Of course, there's still laundry to do. That will never end until the kids move out. Or grow tall enough to do it themselves. I am rooting for the latter.

Tuesday: One thing I *did* get to have was treat myself to the spa. Actually, it was a gift certificate from Valentine's day - of last year. Yeah, I know, I'm a wee bit slow on the self-care. But, anyway, it was fantastic and much needed. Though, sad to say, my inner nerd reared itself when the massage therapist was rotating my arms, I was thinking to myself the muscles involved. "Ahh, there goes my coracobrachialis, anterior deltoid, and pec major clavicular head... and POP goes my GH joint..."

Wednesday: brought the van in to get the transmission replaced (and here's to hoping that it'll last for several more years) then went to the dentist. Apparently I have been brushing hard enough to create notches right underneath the gum line. So I need to retrain myself to brush in little circles. Like a choo-choo train as my dental hygienist would explain to the kids. Now my daughter is the self-appointed toothbrushing vigilante. "brush in circles mom!"

Thursday: Now it's the kids turn for the dentist chair and they all did great. No cavities! Though the dentist has hinted that we're possibly heading down the path of orthodontics for 2 of them. Go team underbite!

Friday: Went into work (like, actually, drove there) at 8AM. It's been so long that I've had to drive this early in the AM. Makes me appreciate more that I work remotely. Left work at 4:40. Back working my usual shift as I type

So sometime between posting this and Monday, I need to do school stuff. So best I get started.
