Well it's official. I've finally caved into Canadian pressure after 8 years of a firm standoff. I am weak and spineless and I want everyone to know it.
Instead of forcing my poor, tormented half-American children to wait and have their SPRING break the first week of April like REAL American kids do and have done for millions of years (okay maybe not that long), I've buckled under the pressure of Canadian culture and allowed them to take their March break along with all of the other Canadian kids.
They deserve it though, they work hard in school and last week knocked them all off their feet with this virus. We're still only about 80-90% recovered, but the worst is over and this is a week of goofing off for them (and cleaning projects for me). I'm starting with cleaning the deck. Most of the snow is gone from the deck now, and so I get to go pick up all the junk that blew around all winter and got buried in the snow out there. Can't complain when the weatherfolk say it's supposed to be almost 60f today and tomorrow. Yes sirree Bob, I'll be outside without a coat.
Tomorrow, Lord willing, one of my favorite people in the world is coming for a visit and we're going to eat cookies and solve the world's problems, right from my kitchen table. If you have any problems you need solved, let me know in the comments and we'll work on those while we eat our cookies.
And now... off to make a vat of oatmeal for a small army of oatmeal mongers. Have a great day!
