Easter letdown settles in

Going to work today, the dreary rain and gray skies seemed to match my mood. The day after Easter (or really any holiday) is such a drag. Seeing friends and family, having good food and conversation, and wishing it would all last a little longer is only part of the problem. The buildup to the holiday and the heightened expectations increase the intensity of the day.

I worked all day on Saturday to get the yard ready. I knew we would do an Easter egg hunt for my granddaughters Sami and Kylie. It came and went like lightning. Life seems to get faster when you get older.

Which brings me back to today. I was faced with reading over 3000 pages of education code in order to put a new district policy manual together for school board approval. Talk about boring! Today was nothing like Sunday; today went as slow as molasses.
