We’re on day 3 of 14 of the kids being home all the time (curse you, spring break!) but actually it hasn’t been too bad so far. Justin was home sick for most of last week, which made me feel like we were under house arrest, but he’s feeling better now, so at least there’s a chance we’ll get out to a few parks (Brayden is showing signs of coming down with the same nasty cold, but we won’t focus on that right now). Both boys actually spent the morning at Grandpa’s, so I took full advantage of the free time and did all kinds of errands, including jogging my two miles on the treadmill. Ahh…

One of the many things I did this morning was book our cruise for next year. OK, so it’s 15 months away, but it’s nice to have something to look forward to. We’re going to spend two and a half weeks touring northern Europe — very cool. The cruise even spends three full days in St. Petersburg, which is one of the places I’ve always said I would love to see but would probably never go to. Awesome!
