Well here we are on Day Five, count ’em 5 days into Spring Break 2011 and the wranglers are complaining of sheer boredom. Oh my! What should we do about it? We’ve had gorgeous weather, but that’s about to take a nose dive, back into the 40’s for highs.
We’ve done the road trip to Elephant Rocks State Park, played outdoors with basketballs, baseballs, jump ropes, bikes, scooters, soccer balls, kids, dogs, friends, should I go on? We have stayed up late, slept in, gone out to eat, visited Grandma, played video games, computer games, and tomorrow, we’ll take on the Zoo! And the little critters are still bored! Dear Daughter keeps herself occupied pretty darned well, with her iPod, books, computer animation projects and sparring with Little Dude.
Her brother, admits his boredom hourly, whether anyone wants to hear it or not.
“Mom, it’s 10:00 a.m. and I am so bored!”
“I’ve already done everything I could possibly do.”
“Can we please go somewhere?”
I can only please one person a day, today is not your day, and tomorrow aint’ looking real good either!
I’ve thought of visiting far away solar systems until this break is over, but they would hunt me down. Or reserving myself a spot at the International Space Station for my sanity, but it’s booked.

It’s just impossible to get away from the aliens. The “library” is no longer sacred, as they hold conversations with me through closed doors. I’ve tried hiding in the back yard with Smart Border Collie and The Black Dog, no use, I can hear them screaming throughout the house,
“Mom, where’s Mom, I just saw her in the kitchen, aren’t Moms supposed to stay put, so we can find ’em when we need ’em?”
They are relentless, and Mommies In Orbit is teetering on the edge.

| Kids, let’s make some fizzy drinks. |
But hey, look at the bright side, only five more days to go. How many martinis can a Mommy pour from a brand new bottle of vodka anyway? Let’s try it and see where our experiment takes us, after all, what happens in the kitchen, stays in the kitchen during our Spring Break, 2011.
