Counting down the days
Excited about the trip to come
Less than a week to go ...

 Squeezing in the usual daily tasks
Life at school and at home
Along with sorting, piling, packing ...

 Six days to go ... laundry and more laundry
Five days to go ... pulling out possibilities
Four days to go ... packing, packing, packing
Three days to go ... unpacking and repacking
Two days to go ... double checking the packing
One day to go ... waiting with anticipation

 Along with sorting, piling, packing
Life at school and at home
Squeezing in the usual daily tasks ...

 Less than a week to go
Excited about the trip to come
Counting down the days ...

    You just need to stop counting! We are both counting down...but with different outcomes! My break will be over, and yours will just begin! :)

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem.
