Today in church, in class, we were talking about how excited all of the kids in my ward are for the upcoming Thanksgiving break. Being in a predominately college-age ward, I’m used to hearing about classes, breaks, etc., that they have. Today when they were talking about it, I had a little longing for the times when I had these too.
I love being an adult. I would not go back to school, I would not go back to being a kid, let me just get that out of the way. But I miss being in school, because I miss the breaks. I miss having that week or two of Christmas off. I miss having a few days of Thanksgiving off. I miss having a whole summer off for vacation! I miss being forced outside a few times a day to get some exercise on the playground. I love the playground! Monkey bars, parallel bars, swingset! Oh my heck I love playing on those – I even play on them now!
I know that it wouldn’t be all fun and games to be back in school. For one thing, I would have to deal with homework again, and that would just ruin things. Plus now when I get time off, it’s so much more precious to me, because it rarely happens, so I appreciate it so much more. But sometimes, when I see kids outside while I’m at work, I think “Man, this place would be so much more awesome if we had a playground out back”

I agree...let's get a petition going for a playground. Better idea...let's got back and get our teaching degrees! We would be able to have those breaks!
