Both of my kids have spring break coming up in March. Neither of them has the same time period off. I believe this was a plot cooked up by both universities for the sole purpose of making sure I need to worry for 2 consecutive weeks rather than getting all my worrying over with in 1 week.
Theresa is going off to Florida with 7 or 8 other girls. I’m not really too worried about her because she has shown me that she is pretty responsible. It is, however, the first time she is going away for an entire week with no adult supervision. On one hand, she goes away to school so it’s not like she’s exactly under the watchful eye of anyone but, if you have kids, you know I will have to worry somewhat.
Stephen has decided he wants to add to his world travel resume. So far he has been to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Israel. For spring break he and a few other seminarians have decided it would be great fun to go on a missionary trip to a Third World Country.
Initially he didn’t want to tell me where he was going until after the fact. Wise boy that he is, he decided this would not be a good idea. His intent was good - he didn’t want me worrying about the fact that he was going into a dangerous third world country. He then realized he had more to fear from me than his travels if I found out he didn’t tell me.
In other news, we think my sister will finally be getting out of the hospital early this coming week.
