“If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But when they seldom come, they wished-for come.” – Henry IV, Part I
Thank goodness for spring break. I’ll be taking some time off myself, so this will be my last post for a few days…but I’ll be back next week with some good quotes about family vacations!

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!” – Merchant of Venice
My son has his favorite words: “Car” “Airplane” “Cracker”. All of a sudden, he’s added “Moon” to the list. Before he goes to bed at night he wants to see the moon up in the sky, and when he wakes up in the morning he wants to search for it again. I’m not sure why he’s so enamored of the moon all of a sudden, but it is cute.

“O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!” – Henry VI
A friend from my writing group (thank you Reggie) alerted me to this Jane Austen Fight Club video yesterday. It’s hilarious! I just had to share it with readers of this blog as well. Enjoy.

“That’s the wavering commons, for their love
Lies in their purses, and whoso empties them,
By so much fills their hearts with deadly hate.” – Richard II
I’ve been doing our taxes the last couple of days. It’s exhausting! But this year it looks like we’re getting a refund (thank you adoption credit), so my purse isn’t empty and my heart is not filled with deadly hate!

“Wife and child,
Those precious motives, those strong knots of love.” – Macbeth
Here’s to a Sunday at home with the family. Too bad it’s an hour short.
