When I leave work tomorrow, I will officially be on spring break. I'm not quite as excited about it this year as Andrew will still have to work. And because Catherine works in the public schools also, she will also have school as well. I'm looking forward to quiet time though. And I'm definitely looking forward to sleeping in. Maybe do a puzzle? Work on photos? Honestly, it doesn't feel as though there will be enough time to do all the things I'd like to do. And Andrew has a doctor appointment one day so that means I won't have the day alone that day. Andrew and Catherine have the week after me as their break.
Last weekend we had a really nice family dinner. My mom came down, and the kids were here. It was fun to have six of us around the table. I find hosting to be stressful, but I greatly appreciate that Andrew is willing to make nice meals for all of us.
Andrew has really been looking for a new dog. I keep telling him not until June! We will be going on vacation in early June, and although Abby was a wonderful traveling companion, we have no idea the temperament of our next pup. And to be honest, I'm not ready for another pup. I'm not looking for something else I need to take care of. I still miss Abby terribly, and when Andrew pulls up a video, it brings tears to my eyes. In fact, just sitting here typing this has brought tears to my eyes.
This is the weekend of basketball madness that I love so much. I'm not really into it this year though. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because Dayton didn't have a great year. Maybe because there is just so much else happening that this seems unimportant. Maybe it is because Andrew isn't home. I have it on, but it just isn't as exciting.
I am grateful for the extra sunshine this time of year!
