Columbus Day Sneak

In 2005, the kids had been here for about six weeks when we got a notice from the elementary school. There would be early release that Thursday, with parent/teacher conferences on Friday (therefore no classes), and a holiday on Monday for Columbus Day. We just groaned--an unexpected five-day weekend with no advance time to plan for extra child care. In addition, Concordia still held classes Monday, so Jonathan wasn't available to help.

Six years later, we at least expect this "fall break" for the kids. But whoever told the IRS to time our audit for Columbus Day weekend was just plain mean!

I AM EXHAUSTED.
