mommyoffive Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 One kid was up but went to lay back down. We got home late from visiting family. Kids don't have school today. Maybe one has some. I am sure they will get some work done for the week though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Good morning! We went to Mammoth Cave yesterday, and we are on our way to New River Gorge in WV. 3 national parks in 4 days is probably a crazy goal, but dd wanted us to do this trip together, so that is great! I hope you all had a great Resurrection Sunday! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Christmas, she asked for a water bottle with all the national parks on it, so she is trying to visit as many as she can. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Easter just being yesterday we are just recovering from that. I need holidays more spread out to do them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Today is my mom's birthday. She has been gone for 4.5 years. For some reason, it is hitting me particularly hard this year. Not like I am crying a lot or anything, but I am just feeling a general malaise. Not much getting done today. Pretty much next to nothing. I did do a load of laundry though. Oh, and it is the first day of my spring break and I have been exhausted, so it also may just be me finally releasing that tension and stress.

ScoutTN Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 ((DawnM)) I hope your SB will have some time to unwind and process things and rest. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I’ve been detailing our living room furniture while Youngest works on stuff. We have a leather couch + set of leather chairs due to allergies…and I really love how buttery soft they get after I condition the leather. I have a love/hate relationship with spring cleaning, but sitting down after in a really clean room is so nice. I’ve had to let my daily standards drop a bit with kids, but it’s so nice to finally have all older kids where things don’t get trashed immediately afterwards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 @DawnMthinking of you! The day is coming up soon for me, too, so I can relate! We had a great day here in New River Gorge! We hiked about 4 miles total and saw some great views. We will do a couple of things tomorrow morning before we head over to Shenandoah. I need to be FB or Instagram friends with more of you so you can see all the pics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
