Hello? Break? Yoohoo? Where are you?
We went to the park this morning (perfect weather!) with a several other families. I'll admit it - all I wanted those silly kids to do was to leave me alone so I could visit with my friends. uh, yeah. Guess how well that worked out for me. Bathrooms were locked. Bathrooms were needed. Oh, how bathrooms were needed. Yes, indeedy. They surely were.
Next time I go to the park to play I may leave the children at home ☺
Several fights, temper tantrums (no, not mine. And oh no, I'm not saying I'm above them.) and crushed feelings and moments requiring intervention occurred before we could even make it out the door to get in the van to go, you know, get a break. *Wink*
First thing out of the gates this morning shades were broken off the wooden rod entirely, bunched up on the floor in a big wad, poo smeared all over the toilet (did I mention they had an outhouse at the orphanage and with the language barrier appropriate bathroom usage has been a tricky one to teach? Ahem. Yes indeedy. It surely has.) with, as an added touch, shreds of toilet paper nicely decorating the vicinity.
No pictures because I'm not so much in the mood to recall day 1 of 2010's Spring (give me a) Break (already would ya?).
Tomorrow - snow - again, the snow. For fun, we'll go ahead and call it Spring Snow.
Tonight, Tyden and I have a date. He has selected Burger King as the ultimate destinatation for fine dining, where we shall have a whopper of an opportunity to be treated as royalty. He has been talking about it for weeks with great joy and anticipation. Oh, my heart, how it melts. (If the bathrooms are functional) This evening with my prince shall surely be a bright and massive highlight of spring *break* 2010. My gold paper crown awaits.

What a day! Burger King with your prince sounds wonderful to me.
sorry but......ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!♥
Yeah!!! Love dates with little princes! So glad Tyden gets to enjoy your company this evening. May it be everything he's dreamed of--oh, yeah--for you, too. Hope he doesn't need to poop while you're out!
Oh my! This too shall pass... it really will! The poo-smearing (maybe on purpose... you might be surprised) may mean more than they want you to know right now.
