Spring Broke

I haven’t posted as often this week – I suppose I am coasting into Spring Break. Some of my students will be doing big and great things like spending a week skiing with friends or serving on mission trips. Me? Here’s what my break will look like:


I’ll spend my mornings watching SpongeBob SquarePants and my afternoons riding bicycles.

I’ll be spending some sleepless nights in a half-panic as the reality of having another baby finally starts to set in.

I will have to take out a second mortgage to stock up on diapers, buy bunk beds, and find batteries for all the baby toys that will make crazy, repetitive, annoying noises.

I’ll be shedding tears of joy as the furniture folks deliver and assemble the bunk beds for me. Since it took me four weeks to assemble a Big Wheel, I’m afraid the boys wouldn’t be able to use the beds until they were ready for college if it were up to me.

I will have to keep two boys from killing each other, breaking stuff, and making their mother crazy while they are out of school, too.

I’ll watch my fair share of March Madness until my wife reminds me (three or four times) how desperately our yard needs work. Then I’ll get off my duff and start to work outside, discover I don’t have the right tool for something, hurt myself or break something, then come back inside feeling like a failure. I’ll turn basketball back on to make myself feel better.

I’ll try to read something that isn’t related to any of my classes.

If I do write about anything, it won’t be about sex because my friends have informed me that my blog has become a little “topic heavy.”

Enjoy the break.
