Stress, excitement, anticipation, and STRESS. What a freakin’ day!  Holy cow. I’m watching all these elementary kids run out of the building like maniacs with small brains (well, seriously, their brains are actually, physically small).  Everyone is happy that it is Spring Break.  Now, at the end of this tiring day, I will pick up my own maniac-with-a-small-brain (and my husband), and off we will go, driving for many hours to begin our own Spring Break trip (you know, because we’re stupid).  I will still be around these here parts, checking  Read more >
