Spring Break and Summer Vacation
My children are on Spring Break this week, so for the most part I'm taking the week off. I am working some from home. How do you handle Spring Breaks and summer vacations? What kind of arrangements do you make for your children? Often my husband and I do tag team parenting. I'm it for this week! Please share.

A Laugh for you Today - a New Survivor game
A dear friend sent this to me. Enjoy.
THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids
each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each
week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and
relatives, and send cards out on time.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist
appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the
Urgent Care.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and
all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with
jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails
polished and eyebrows groomed.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least
once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book and then pray with the children each
night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and
comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will
be required to know all of the following information: each child's
birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name.
Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of
labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack,
favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they
want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man
wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his
spouse at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over
again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called
Mother!
After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think
will get a kick out of it and as many men as you think can handle it.
Just don't send it back to me.... I'm going to bed!
