Sunday night Hello again to the four Bob Nobles from and the four Norm Turners from Acton who left Canada bound for Mexico on the 1st of February for their six week stretch which ranged from lying on

winter break but for mothers Its something else another type of break like a mothers back break her morale or mental equilibrium maybe Ive talked to at least mothers lately who are certain that Its no break for them and already Its only Monday the beginning of the whole deal Now it Isnt that mothers dont love their children like they used to Probably if the truth were told statistics could be found that todays mothers love them aa much as ever Its just that getting ready for Caster means getting things In order and the winter break with the kids at home scuffing up every effort makes the Job that much more difficult You no sooner get everything In shape for springtime company than everyones at home ruffling things up somewhat before getting ready for the scramble at Easter again Then of course theres the break which this winter effort brings to my mind The one I keep expecting to sec around my house You know the broken neck and limbs on kids who get rambunctious and take the whole idea of winter break too seriously Five minutes alone in one room for my brood is like placing a keg of dynamite too near the kitchen stove they all explode Whats to do Well if we mothers can all relax a little and ponder this wintertime phenomenon it has its good points For one thing it brings us down to base level when we have to decide which comes first the old housekeeping or maybe some fun for a change And certainly if youre not over fun is everyone game Whats wrong with sticking aside the corn broom once in a while for an outdoor hike or an investment In an afternoon of bowling A trip to Toronto to visit the museum or art gallery or a drop In to the Ontario Science Centre is a worthwhile way to get to know your kids If its a cold day outside then are always card or word games which can while away hours of parentkid time and to heck with the Ironing and washing and the drudgery of unimportant things Thinking back Id love to all the holidays and winter breaks my kids have
