We're now in the middle of spring break, and we're going out tonight to the Giants night opener. I have not had a dedicated day for grading papers; rather, I've tried to do just a little every day. I feel like this has worked for me better than trying to block out a whole day to ignore my family and work.
My life partner has also taken the week off, and the whole family has been at home. We've just worked on home projects, which is good. I feel like we always have stuff that we can go through and give away. My children and I are such packrats when we should really just let go.
