olmueIt's spring break today, and the sun is shining and it feels like spring! Broken trees are blooming and it's light outside. Yay! DH has a lot of work to do over the break so we aren't going far. I want to go here, but I think the drive is just too far for a day trip.
Area news--boy and girl basketball teams, both undefeated, from the same school, win their division. I'm sure much celebration ensued. Since my MC started playing team sports, I'm much more aware of this. (The days of news stories/multiple page spreads kind of makes you aware, too.)
I spent the morning driving around to find the cheapest mailing option for a package to South America. Just so you know, there is a significant difference in cost between sending something USPS through a UPS store and just going to the post office. And USPS was def. cheaper than UPS!!! (Like, $38 compared to $188.)
Not sure how much writing I'll get done while I'm the One Responsible Adult among five kids all day, but hopefully we'll have fun. I hope your week is spring-y!
