A break?

Today is the first day of spring break here in SC but I am finally now, at 6 p.m., sitting down and well, sitting!
This morning began with forcing the boys into the showers - what's with their dislike to be clean? We then headed up to the middle school to put in some volunteer hours in the food pantry there. I know, school is out and that's the first place I drag them. I am the meanest mom in the world! Really though, they didn't seem to mind. Chase needs a ten hour service project for scouts so this is a good fit for him. The school had just had a food drive, a competition between classes that ended on Friday with lots and lots of donations that needed to be gone through. We had to check the expiration dates and stock the shelves. Unfortunately the air conditioning was off in that part of the school so we only lasted about an hour and a half before we called it quits due to the heat. Next time we will go earlier in the day.
Following that we stopped at the store to get some goodies for Austin's birthday. Molly is flying to AZ today for her spring break so we are sending his birthday gift with her. I am sad they will both be away from us on Easter Sunday this year.
Molly is on her flight right now. She has to change planes and find a different gate in Atlanta so of course I am a bit worried. The Atlanta airport seems so big to me! She is a smart young lady and will do fine but regardless I worry.
Ryan also had a doctor appointment today (and I have one tomorrow) so we fit that in as well. I hope we can get to the beach this spring break and a trip to the temple for me as well.
Maybe tonight, I will have my break?
