I'm taking Owen up to Polar Cub camp tomorrow morning for an overnight camp out with the Cub Scouts.
And Derby practice tonight and Sunday.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Emmett has all of next week off.
My schools in NY had a midwinter break like that -- VA never did, so it seemed great but completely insane when we moved up there. Still does, now that I think of it.
This weekend is atypically low-key, since most of our weekends are all about fencing and most of the fencers are off at the under-20 championships this weekend. Plans: brewing, garden, cranking on a bunch of work samples (assuming I can get the site I want to finish today out the door, which is currently depending on stuffs from the client. Le sigh.)
I have no idea if S has Monday off or not, actually. He just started a new job, so he possibly could!! I completely forgot it was a holiday weekend.

We don't get anymore days off until Memorial Day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've been looking at NYC school info all week (pre-K applications for the fall start in March) and the midwinter recess thing just seems custom designed to inconvenience working parents. (Or alternately, designed as a gift for ones who need to use up their rollover vacation days.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
sumi, I'm in the same lack of holidays boat.

Especially if they've just had a bunch of snow days!!
I do not get a three day weekend...but I am flying TO PERU tomorrow! EEP!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Have an awesome time, meara!
I have Monday off, so I am planning on making it my laundry and home improvement day. I have two pieces of furniture from Ikea that need to be put together, and so far the house elves have been falling down on the job.

Peru! Wow. That's awesome.

hip deep in pie
Peru would be exciting!
I have Monday off, because it's my earned day off, not a holiday.

It's for work, so I'll be busy, but at the same time, I'm also not paying for it, and someone who lives there is arranging my taxis and stuff. ...though I am worried about my level of Spanish (especially medical spanish) not being up to it. Fingers crossed!
