Spring Break is coming up in three weeks. I'm heading out to the tropics. My wardrobe: swimsuits, shorts, tank tops and short skirts. Of course, I'm thinking about how my body is going to look in a bikini and hip-hugging shorts. I decided I need to lose the extra pounds I put on in the last few weeks (amazing how fast it jumps up without you even noticing). (READ MORE)

From the top of a hill overlooking a baseball diamond ,
"I think I'm low."
While playing roller hockey like a Transformer with 15 pounds of equipment ,
"I think I'm low."
While blowing bubbles on the deck ,
"I think I'm low."
From the top of the stairs ,
"I think I'm low."
In the wee hours of the morning while the whole house sleeps ,
"Mom, dad, I think I'm low."
"I think I'm low." "I think I'm low." "I think I'm low." (READ MORE)

I love this time of year. As soon as we can "spring ahead" and gain that hour of sunlight in the afternoon, I get excited. Before this last Sunday it was dark soon after I got home from work which meant no Disc Golf during the week.
A while back I wrote a post about how I am not a typical gym guy. I like to exercise in non-traditional ways such as racquetball or disc golf instead of being strapped to a machine at a health club. Well now that the days are longer I can meet my buddies at the park after work for a round of disc golf. If you can throw a Frisbee then you can play this game. It is not nearly as frustrating to me as golf is. I am terrible at traditional golf. (READ MORE)

In the past month, I've really gotten off track with my life. School and work seemed to be picking up, so I set a few things on the back burner (not to mention that I had a flare up with my other health conditions). The things that got pushed to the back were really major pieces of my diabetes management.
For one, I stopped working out in the way that I had been leading up to mid-March. Before Spring Break, I was working out at least twice a week (jogging 1.5-3 miles on the treadmill). But after Spring Break, life got in the way so I didn't make the time to add those workouts back into my schedule. I made all sorts of excuses: I was too tired, I wanted to go out with friends, I hadn't watched TV in forever, I had to study. Sadly, I think I've worked out a total of three or four times in the past month...that's just really disappointing.

It's Spring break. The kids are home from school and the sun is shining (well, not really, but just go with it). Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, I know it's crazy, but hey, it's Spring Break. You're only young once. Let's get a little wild!
I'm talkin' one full week of all-inclusive, inverted, unadulterated, topless …
BASAL TESTING!
Woo-hoo! Par-tay!
How awesome is this gonna be? Charlie will get the full Spring Break experience. Unlimited Jell-O shots; binge testing; zany contests to see how long he can go without eating. It will be like being in Cabo San Lucas only from the comfort of our own home.

Après moi, le déluge.
In Genesis Chapter 9, G-d commands Noach to build a watertight vessel and to stock it with all species of life known to man. Following this interchange, the earth was subjected to forty days and forty nights of rain, sufficient to wash all living things -- except for those ensconced in the ark -- from the earth.

There is something about spring that makes me want to turn over new leaves and start fresh with life. It's when I typically lose the most weight, stay on top of class work (when I was in school), and keep up with all the laundry and cleaning. Maybe it's the long days with plenty of sunshine or the fresh, clean air.
Whatever it is, I am full of energy today when I've been drowning the last week or so. After a long day at work, I went to Target to buy some things for Marvin's birthday extravangaza. I ate a nice salad when I got home then proceeded to do the dishes. I'm about to wash some fruit and prep Marvin's picnic food as much as possible.
I'm also considering doing some laundry and cleaning up the apartment a bit. I desperately need to sweep and vacuum (although the vacuuming will probably wait since it's after 9PM and I have neighbors below me). The bathroom could use a once over as well.

It's my Spring Break. Nine days of no school. The last one of my college career.
Usually this time of year, my mom and I are on a Mexican beach sipping strawberry daiquiris and dreaming of a permanent vacation from everything. That time spent away is necessary for both of us. She needs the break from work to rejuvenate. And I need the break from all this life to avoid a major breakdown.
This year, we're spending our vacation time and effort on the European graduation trip though. So my Spring Break is spent here at home. Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely grateful to both my parents for the Europe trip. I'm ecstatic that I'm spending 10 days touring Rome and seeing the islands of the Mediterranean.

So my kids started school on Monday. Yep, super duper extra early. We have a modified year round school district. So we get seven to eight weeks off in the summer and two weeks off in the fall, winter and spring. I’m not sure I like it. I like the shorter summers because my kids get bored even with lots of activities to keep them busy. But the two weeks in fall and spring can be torturous. I’d rather have, say, a four day weekend in the fall and a regular one-week spring break. Again, the kids are bored, and finding camps or classes for them is expensive. I’m lucky to have my parents in town and they watch the kids, but I have to find something to keep them busy or they’ll drive my parents nuts. Of course, this also means finding something for all three that doesn’t involve my mom running all over town all day.
