The days have been getting longer and the winter has remained mild. It\u2019s now daylight again when I get up in the mornings for work. Still the night comes early and I\u2019m really longing for spring to arrive. I\u2019m off work this because the kids are home from school and I have some extra vacation days from last year that I need to use or loose. It\u2019s a funny thing: we knew last fall that the kids get a week off in February at their new school, and at the time I was all like \u201cwe are so going on a ski trip, or to the Caribbean!\u201d But all fall and winter we were pretty focused on day-to-day life, and when it came down to it, airfare to the islands for a whole family is crazy expensive, because everyone else who has kids is also taking the same week off. And there\u2019s been be no snow to speak of.<\/p>\n
So the plan is mainly to hang around the house. I\u2019m actually pretty happy about this. It seems every time we have time of there\u2019s travel involved, but it\u2019s nice just to catch up on things, and have an opportunity to focus on writing my book and working on new songs. To be sure, we\u2019re probably going skiing later in the week for a day trip overnight (if it doesn\u2019t rain), but nothing epic. I\u2019m guessing it\u2019ll be the last chance for skiing this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
