It is officially the 4th day of my spring break and therefore, on the down hill slope toward the end.
And what do I really have to show for it? Nothing.
I had big plans, you know. We all do. Big plans to change the world in our free time. Ah! Throw on your super hero cape and change the world!!! Big plans to catch up on the house that has been neglected, friends that have been neglected, knitting, blogs... all things that have been neglected. I had big plans to clean out closets and drawers. Big plans to clear out cabinets of clutter, and the garage of unneeded teacher stuff.
I had big plans to write blog after blog about my feelings/experiences. I had plans to write a novel, (ok, maybe not) and catch up on homework that MUST be done by next Tuesday. I had plans, but yet I sit and knit. I even tried to open the books today. "Oh, I will be studious and read," I thought. But the spring weather and the knitting called me to knit outside.
Oh, I will get one more row done and then... oh, gosh, now I have to change to knit 3, purl 3, I can't possibly stop now!
This is my world. Thus is my life.
My house looks at least like people could actually live in it now without catching some crazy disease. I will have dinner tonight with friends, so the catching up on neglected friends is getting better. And now, I blog. If nothing else that to tell you what a slacker I am.
If only I could type and knit at the same time!
But for now, on this, the Thursday of my spring break, the super hero cape is now neglected. It sits waiting for me to get the energy to actually DO half of the things I planned on doing.
Till then, I knit. But isn't that the point of Spring Break? To actually take a BREAK from the crazy things in life? Isn't that the point, to take it easy, spend some time with us, our families, and our friends? or am I just making excuses? Or does it really matter?
For now, I will just work on kitting a person who can wear the cape and do the work for me.
