While some of you are having fun in Miami and other warm spots, I am stuck here over Spring break because my kids' Spring break doesn't coincide with my own. It's not even close.

We have kids in Ladue public school and also at our Temple for preschool, and even they have separate Spring breaks.

What kind of break is this?

I wish the schools, including Wash U, would get together and decide just when Spring break should be, so that we all can have a nice break. This problem doesn't happen at Winter because everybody agrees to have break between Christmas and New Year's. I guses I wouldn't mind if they picked holy week or some other recognizable week for Spring break just so we can all have break together.
