I'm back today from a short vacation. The kids were on fall break, so I took some time off to hang out with them. I wanted to take the entire break off, but I didn't think I could pull off the work project implementation on time by taking the whole thing, so I started last Thursday, instead. I had originally planned to take them on some big trip (maybe Philadelphia, Washington D.C?), but with the possibly redeployment coming up, I decided not to spend a major chunk of money.
So instead we hung out, picked up their friends to hang out, went to movies ("The Game Plan"--cute, worth a matinee price), they had sleepovers, shopping at the malls with them.
My schnauzer of 16 years passed away a few weeks back. He had had fleas and ticks; so I spent some of the vacation time doing some serious deep cleaning to try to purge the place. (I got good arm and shoulder exercises doing it; I'm so sore that I'm glad to be back to a desk job!)
