Spring break starts this Friday at noon. I can't freaking wait! I work at an all girls school, which means drama is always happening, but these are at risk girls, so there is even more drama going on. The last few weeks things have been getting tense and there has been even more drama than usual. The girls just need a break from each other and the teachers need a break from them. You know how there is sometimes a co-worker that you don't always get along with? Well, as adults we can handle it. We typically avoid them, are able to exchange brief pleasantries in the elevator or staff room, occasionally rant to a close friend and everything in the workplace is fine. Not everyone is going to be friends, that's a reality of life, but as adults we know how to deal with that without causing drama (well at least most adults do). Teenage girls have yet to master this fine art, and when forced to see each other for many hours a day......well it results in drama. As I said, I can't wait for spring break!
What kind of fabulous things do you have planned for spring break you ask? Well, I am sticking around the city for a few days and then heading to rural Manitoba. If you are not familiar with Canada, Manitoba is not the most exciting place to be in April. In case you are reading this and are from Manitoba and ready to get angry with me....I like Manitoba. In fact it's fun in the winter for all kinds of winter activities and great in the summer with the fabulous lakes. It's just that April is an inbetween time of not much to do. This would be fine if I was going to a city, where I could do some shopping or see something cultural but I am not. Manitoba is not the only place like this, so I'm not hating on Manitoba in particular, but while you can make all the arguments you want for Manitoba, it certainly is not as fun as say, Mexico in April.
I am heading to Manitoba to go to a friend's wedding. She came to my wedding this past summer in Newfoundland while she was 20 weeks pregnant and so I am kinda obligated to go to hers. I really do want to see her get married, and am excited for the event. I am just not so excited for the 12 hour drive each way. Yuck! I am excited to see her son though. Last time I saw him he was 7 weeks old. Unfortunately her visit was the weekend between finding out my baby was no long living and getting my D&C. So here I am with a dead baby in my belly and trying to be happy for her. The visit was scheduled well in advance so the timing was just chance, but it was not exactly the best timing for me to really enjoy meeting her newborn. I am excited to see how he has grown and to have a visit with him in a far more emotionally stable place. From the pictures I have seen he has really grown and is looking super cute!
On more exciting travel news, hubby and I are looking at booking a cruise for this summer. We didn't go on a real honeymoon after our wedding this summer, so it will kind of be a belated celebration. We are planning on treating ourselves to a nicer trip than we would usually splurge on. I am excited to get it booked so that we have something concrete to look forward too. It should also help motivate me to stick to some sort of healthy eating. You would think trying to get pregnant is enough, but that is just enough to make me eat healthy things, not necessarily enough to help me control the calories of those healthy things. Brown rice and veggie stirfry is healthy......but not when you have a double portion!!! Hopefully by the time cruise rolls around I have skinny arms and legs and a little baby bump!
