March break is almost over and I feel GUILTY. The kids and I haven't done anything except play lots of Rummy. This is the issue with March break. I take vacation to be with the kids, but I also always need time to decompress at this time of year. So it's a rough time for doing things. I have a hard time feeling energetic enough to do anything (even grocery shopping can be a challenge), don't want the kids bored, but don't want to spend loads of money either. What to do?
Are we the only family not on a trip this week? It seems like everyone can afford a cruise, trip to Disney or to a warm destination resort. It's almost a competition to one up the next person about what they did with their kids and where they went. This leads to more guilt. I want to give everything to my kids and wish, wish, wish I was the Mom who skis, goes skating, likes tobogganing and all that jazz. But I'm not. And during winter I want to hibernate. I couldn't even finish dog obedience class with Pug because I didn't want to go out of the house in the evening.
I hope one day the kids will understand......
