There are "breaks" and there are "BREAKS"

As a special needs parent one of the things we NEVER get is a break. We just push ourselves through the exhaustion and sometimes pain just so we can do it all over again the next day. The kind of breaks we do get we could REALLY do without. I'm declaring shenanigans of Easter/Spring "break".  Can you say "bait and switch" or "false advertising"... If you use the word break in a sentence when speaking to a special needs parent you should be sure to specify WHO is ACTUALLY getting the break, because it certainly isn't us. When someone tells me that "Easter/Spring breaks starts tomorrow", my response is "HELL YEAH!! It'a about damn time. I'll have the kids packed up and ready to go. What time are you coming by to pick them up". Then they look at me like I've lost my mind. Then I say "oh not that kind of break, huh?".   This is my "profound" thought for the day :)
