lazy days

I don't know why, but I seem to think in the same terms as I did when I worked for the school
district - I still feel like I am "on vacation" the same days the kids are out of school for Christmas
break. So, even though there is plenty to be done around the house, I'm just taking it easy, reading a good book, visiting friends, etc. After the kids go back to school, hopefully I'll get busy on things that need to be done.
