A Glimpse of Things to Come

That could be a positive sort of title.

But it's not.

This week has been Spring Break.  It's been pretty nice-if you don't count the snow, rain and wind.  But that's pretty much expected this time of year.  The real eye-opener has occurred in the later hours of the afternoon/evening.  During the day, the girls have been home.  They've had friends over, but later in the evening they have had other options.  By seven o'clock, I know that Ryan will be falling asleep soon and there will be a long stretch without responsibility.  A couple of evenings, I went running.  I've gone through old magazines.  I've edited some pictures of Griffen.  Mostly, I've just flitted around, accomplishing nothing.  I must admit, it has made me a little nervous about my future without kids.  I'm going to need to get some sort of plan. 

Or maybe I need to just get some sense and enjoy these quiet, (slightly boring) days.  Let's be honest, come Monday I'll be wishing for another week of vacation...
