Back to the Daily Grind

What?

It's over?  What happened?  I must have missed something, because there is NO FREAKING WAY that I just spent 12 days away from work.

They were heavenly, wonderful, restful, fun, exciting days!  We looked at Christmas lights.  We made (and ate) lots of Christmas treats.  There were Christmas surprises followed by full-on tackle dad thank-you-for-the-Wii hugs.  There were days spent entirely in pajamas.  There were sore abs from laughing and sore arms from Wii bowling, Wii boxing, Wii baseball and tennis.  (Wii didn't golf much.)

We loved spending the time together.  We loved the activities, the inactivity.  We stayed up late and slept in late.  We rang in the new year with poppers and Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider.  We even started Birthday celebrations for a prime, palindromic young lad.

But it's over.

It went so quickly.  I loved every minute of it.

It's hard being back at work today, but it's work that makes such times possible.  I'm already plotting and planning for more time away, but until then, I guess I'll get back to work and get something done.

    I've often wondered how people with jobs that don't have a two week Christmas break, and a week long Spring break, and a two month Summer break, make it through week after week without any big break other than retirement to look forward too. But I guess if you can make your own breaks and plan them and look forward to them, I guess it kind of works out.
