A Fortune cookie and a project

Whew!

What a crazy past couple of days...

is it 

SPRING BREAK

yet?

My mama bear claws have come out with a vengenance

and

talk about stress!

It seems that teachers right before school gets out...

decide to

ASSIGN

every project, homework page, tests, quiz, party, field trip

they can think of so that

MOMS

can only throw their hands in the air and 

BEG

for a break!

That is what has happened to me...

I need a MOMMY

TIME OUT.

After a busy morning of juggling my stress with the kids' school stress...

my sweet hubby

who has been trying to "stay out of my way"

decided we needed to go to our favorite Chinese Food Restaurant

HONG KONG KITCHEN

in the hopes

that I could cheer up and take a break from it all.

At the end of the meal he opened his fortune cookie to read:

"A smile is your passport into the heart of others."

Tossing it aside,
 thinking it insignificant...

we walked outside into the gorgeous warm spring air

and I told him we should take a picture.
He hates it when I say that
but when I started to take pictures he just started shooting random crazy pictures and

his SMILE genuinely made me laugh!

          

Which of course was 

EXACTLY

what I needed to change my mood and to make me feel better.

Oh how much I love him!

I reminded him that he is the 

BEST

decision I have ever made.

I love you babe.

Chris (with the help of Ron) finished his

Geometry project today.

It is due tomorrow.

    So how does making a carnival game have anything to do with

Geometry?

I'm still trying to figure that one out!

BRING ON SPRING BREAK!
