Getting Restarted

My kids have been home for most of the last week. They had a 2 day school week. My daughter was home for one of the days due to cough/fever. My son came home early that day for the same reason. It was not a propitious start to the week. So, they start back to school today knowing that in 3 weeks they get off again for Christmas. I wonder how much they'll actually accomplish knowing this. I also have to brace myself against this fact since I know they'll only get more excited the closer to time we get.

Still, it's hard to go back at all after a break of just a few days. I'll have to worry about the next one later.
