When Spring Gives You Ice Storms…

March 24, 2016 By Lena 13 Comments

… You curl up into a ball and cry. Sure, I thought I was incredibly cool, posting just a few days ago how I had survived March Break.

“Get out of my house!” I said.
“Go back to school!” I said.
“I finally have freedom!”…. I thought.

And then, thanks to a little ice storm, the kids are home again. Just before the Easter weekend. Which means a FIVE-day weekend, less than a week after March Break.

I haven’t survived at all.

Today? Today I’ve got nothing for you. Today I will be making breakfast and lunch for the little ones, rescheduling one meeting and two conference calls, and counting to five before I snap. Today is a day for decorating Easter Eggs and watching Disney movies in pajamas.

So, here’s a smorgasbord of a few things I’ve been working on. Wishing you a joyous Easter!

1. EASTER GIVEAWAY! Hop to it Canadians – Enter to win 1 of 3 $1,000 Mattel Easter Baskets!
EasterSweeps_FacebookThe sweepstakes ends on April 1, 2016, at 11:59 p.m. ET, so you’ve still got time to enter! Good luck – what a special treat for a lucky child (or children) in your life! 

2. NEW OBSESSION! CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar. Check out my video testimonial here.  (Warning: No Make-Up Look! Fresh-faced! Out of my comfort zone!)
Picture12My skin is soft, smooth and never dry, thanks to the 5% CeraVe Moisturizing Cream included in the bar. (And, it’s fragrance-free and non-irritating.) I’ve raised the bar with my cleansing routine!

3. DIY TAX FILING? Don’t miss our #HowToRefund Twitter Chat on March 29 at 8PM ET.
twitter party march 29 (2)As always, we’ll have the tax experts at H&R Block on hand to answer your questions, and we’re giving away $750 in cash cards! Mark your calendars.

That’s all for now, folks! I’m off to break apart another fight between siblings. Wish me luck!

    My school district scheduled spring break (2 weeks long) to fall just before Easter – so the kids will be going back to school on Tuesday. It would suck to go back to school for just a couple days and then be off again!

    It figures that right when you are so excited for the kids to be back in school and to get some peace and quiet they get a day off! The weather here in the west isn’t too bad. Ice storms are the worst and I hate how they snap all the trees!

    Oh jeez. I have friends who live in your neck of the woods, and it hasn’t been a great winter as far as storms go!

    Sorry to hear you aren’t quite ready for this EXTRA long weekend! Hopefully it goes smooth :)

    Good luck and patience to you.
    Sometimes it helps to physically separate them for an hour or two. I can’t say much though. I am just waiting for spring and outside everything.
