Well, I certainly found a hidden perk to having a second job.
Road trips.
I had not hit my home turf sans family, in..... like....
EVER.
It was one of those events where everything fell into place, everything went smoothly, good times were had by all.
Since this was my first time to travel the roads of the girl I used to be on my own since I married and had children, I will count this as my Spin on Firsts.
Since I traveled, worked my business, and visited with friends and family my entire week of break, I am playing catch up on lesson planning. I hope to capture in words the feelings the trip brought up, but for now, I will link you to a post on the beach where I grew up, the beach where I had a lovely reunion with my mom and younger sister last week.
For more Spins, head on over to Sprite's Keeper.

Family reunions are always a full book!
Hopefully, this was a first in a wonderful series of events. :-)
You're linked!
I read the red wagon entries... My mom, when brother Jack and I would say how bored we were, used to kiss us each on the nose and perkily say, "Oh, I'm so sorry for you. I'm not bored at all." And she'd walk away from us, leaving us not knowing how to react other than to find something to do.
My brother's red wagon was the picnic wagon. When Mom had had enough of housework, the hardboiled eggs would appear--deviled eggs--and we KNEW what was coming next.
Hmmm... I think indeed we do have some intertwining parts to our histories.
Forgive me. I keep falling in love with your daughter's beach barrettes.
Can't wait for your entries about your trip. (and of course, thank you for your comments, as well.)
nice...glad you had a great trip...welcome home...
Did I read the words "wonderful reunion" in the same sentence as "mom"? That is a huge relief compared to last year. I'm so glad you had a good trip, and things are going better.
I'm so glad you had a good trip and was happy for the updates along the way.
Good luck catching up w/ school stuff.

Looking forward to hearing about it.
Love, love,love road trips by myself. Hubby is very outcome oriented and I like to wander aimlessly..... want photos!
Welcome back. Hope your Mom is doing well.

I'm glad the trip and the reunion with family went well.
Isn't it great to do something on your own again after so long?
Every trip to me is an adventure. Looking forward to hearing about it.
I'm so happy for you! That was much needed and you deserved it.
