Padding

 Yesterday the boys slept in late as they were unwinding from the long trip and relishing in every moment of their Spring Break. While I might have been compelled to wake them earlier under different circumstances, I was delighted with the quiet and solitude that their slumber afforded me. I was able to sit on the couch and knock out an impressive number of items on my to-do list. The list is still overwhelming, but at least it is now a little shorter.

Today is rainy and miserable. The boys stayed up late last night playing a computer game together (Timmy is now able to hold is own against his brother) so I expect that they will sleep late. I could definitely get used to this schedule, but I know it won't last long. Next week everybody will be up early and scrambling around the house in a panic. I suppose that this 'break' is the equivalent of the mom vacation.

I am looking around my living room which is cluttered with luggage, boxes and bags. Unfortunately my leg is really sore today so I'm not sure that cleaning is going to be the best use of my time. I don't have a sore (yet) but I feel one starting to develop on the outside of my limb. My system of padding, which had been functional albeit not completely comfortable, is no longer working. I need to figure out a new configuration of pads in order to keep walking. 

In reality, I need a new leg. I guess I'll add that to the list.
