Early Break

Christmas break came early to our house. We were supposed to have one more full day of homeschool, but things started out poorly this morning. It was clear that my son was having trouble focusing on anything other than Christmas fun. We tried to get through literature, and then spelling. I didn't even attempt a math lesson.

Eventually I saw that it was pointless and declared that Christmas break was starting a day early for him. And me too, I guess. My son will now have two weeks of playtime and lazy days...

While I have two weeks to catch up on all the housework that has been piling up.

When do the stay-at-home dads get a vacation?

You get a break between the time your kids go away for college and when they have their own kids.

Parenting is a lifetime gig -- there's no parole! Although, the occasional weekend pass is a welcome reprieve!

I am with you. Time for a break!

Heck, I sleep with the boss, so that should count for some special treatment, right?

What is this word "vacation." I am very much interested in hearing more what it means.

I'm impressed. You got all except one day of December HSing done! My first December I barely covered a full week.

Have a Merry Christmas. I'm looking forward to more of your posts and pictures in 2007.
