We’ve survived the holiday madness. Kind of. We’ve cleaned up the wrapping paper and put batteries in a gazillion toys. We’ve fa-la-la’d and ho-ho-ho’d… and we are done.
Except that we can’t really be “done.” Because fucking winter break.
I mean, who thought up this nonsense?
Winter Break Survival basically comes down to five critical steps:
Step #1: Freak out.
Step #2. Set low expectations. The key is to set the bar low. No, lower.
Step #3: Try to look on the bright side.
Step #4: Realize you’re beaten.
Step #5: Give up and pray for survival.
Good luck and godspeed, y’all.
