Four-Day "Weekend"

Isn't a four-day weekend supposed to be a vacation? I'm almost -- almost -- ready to go back to work after my last three days off.

I spent the first half of Thanksgiving cleaning closets and the second half hanging out and eating at my mom's house. Yesterday, I did a little more reading and cleaning in the morning, spent the afternoon out at lunch and shopping with my son, then came home and read a little more. Today, I spent the morning lazing about and then went to the park, lunch, library and Seaport Village in hopes of getting a picture with Santa. I am beat!

At least tomorrow should be a less busy day, I think. We're meeting friends for a park play date then lunch. I might -- might -- get up early and go to the gym. Ugh, I need a break!

But by the time I get to the end of Monday, I know I'll be ready for another long weekend. Thankfully, my 12 days off at Christmas time is less than a month away!
