When is a break, not a break?

Well, if you are Ross Geller for one, but in my book it’s if you go on vacation anywhere with your children in tow. Nothing like having to do all the same family obligations someplace else where you don’t have your stuff, or your system in place. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, entertainment. It’s all the same, but harder. Fun! That movie you loved, but hated when we were packing to come away? Yeah, that’s a home where we left it. Those snacks you bought and forgot to bring? Ditto. That obscure thing/tool that would be perfect in this instance? Yup, you guessed it, tucked away in a drawer at home, miles away. Might as well be on the moon. Groovy. Gotta love summer break! Smile!?!

Halfway into August, so the school days are getting closer. Home work, packed lunches, new shoes, pencils and whatever else will be back, front and centre in all of our lives once more.

I was just thinking about how we skipped most of November and it’s awful weather by going to Florida, and it’s three months away from being a year ago. Felt like just a few weeks ago. Crazy how time works.
