Why do they call it SPRING BREAK?

Obviously, it's not really a break for stay-at-home moms!  I remember the REAL days of spring break, you know the ones when you started planning the year before which Mexican resort you were going to stay at?  And then, you would spend all year trying to get into shape, so you could wear that tiny string bikini on the beach while doing shots of tequila, washing it down with Coronas, and sporting a hefty hangover all day until you were out drinking again that night...

Those days are over baby.  My spring break has consisted mostly of listening to the kids fight and then play really well...and instead of spending all year trying to get into shape for this week, I've just been trying to figure out if I should have 2 peanut butter Easter eggs or if I should just eat all 6 that come in a pack.  And now, who can spend all year planning what we're going to do this week, when I can barely plan what I'm doing in the next few hours.  Motherhood has changed me...99% for the better...but I blame my immense junk food cravings on the fact that I gave birth twice and that process messed up my better judgment when it comes to choosing the right foods to eat. 

It hasn't been all bad, though.  The kids, surprisingly, have gotten along really well for the past 20 minutes.  Yep, I haven't heard one scream or peep or cry.  That's why I decided to blog just now!

We had the chance to go to Mosi, which, if you haven't been there...you need to check it out.  It's a science center (most large cities have one) and it's got an Imax theatre, a planetarium and lots of things for the kids to do.  We haven't had the opportunity to actually see an Imax movie yet (we tried, but it was sold out) and we haven't been to the planetarium (again, sold out), but we bought a family pass for the year -- which means at some point, we'll be able to see something. They have the Body Worlds exhibit which we are planning to see before it goes away...

Anyway, we are surviving the week together.  Only a few more days until Riley goes back to school and even though I love having her home (I really do!), I'm sure Riley is ready to go back to school and see her friends...at least for a few days because of course, we are leaving to go back to Pittsburgh yet again for Rochelle's wedding!
