Another busy weekend as the story goes. We worked through the weekend with our academics as we prepared to take a week off for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
We are traveling with no books other than those used for leisurely reading. I was proud of myself because I managed to fit all of my belongings into one medium-sized suitcase. Usually, I lug one of those giant suitcases with me and have to pay extra money to do so. I figured if I’m going to start dragging the kids across Europe, I’d better start learning how to pack lighter. Discovering travel-size items made a huge difference in my load. Why have I not been doing this before? I transferred my toiletries to these tiny bottles after I applied tea bags to my eyes this morning. Middle age is bringing the additional puffy eyes that I now have to deal with-ugh!
I’m looking forward to a break from the usual routine. We are going to visit with family and friends. Likely will do a great deal of cooking, eating, and spending time in the great outdoors. In between, I’m hoping to hit the gym with family. I did bring some work I need to do such as planning for history and chemistry classes as well as a college prep book-yes, I think that far ahead with my kids. Can’t help it…
