6 more days...

Stick a fork in me this Mama is done with summer.  In fact, we are getting overcooked here.  At the beginning of the summer my children were so happy to be home.  They were happy to do whatever they wanted and wander the house and backyard.  If I came up with one or two activities during the week, it was a win for everybody.  Slowly they started requesting more and more activities.  Then we went on a couple of vacations that were filled with constant fun.  More fun that any kid could want.  Since we have been back the kids have lost control.  They are requesting me to entertain them every 10 minutes.  They want to go on rides, eat candy, play games with cousins, lets have people over, more people over, lets have amazing treats, tell me what to do with this minute and the next minute.  Oh my goodness.  GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!  Was that too strong?  I mean, have a great day at school!  You will love it!

Yes!!!! Get out.

We have been seriously broken since the family reunion in Utah. I can't get my groove back and the kids are taking advantage of me and each other. I hate it.

School starts Monday. 10 days too late!

Right there with you!! I'm dying over here and we don't start till the 4th. Ahhhhhh! Note to self: boring stuff at the beginning and plan fun stuff all right at the end of summer. Hang in there friend.

This is great! I have learned to say Popsicles in June, ice cream sandwiches in July, and then the fancy ice cream stuff in August because you can't bring out the big guns until later or they expect it all summer! It's so funny to me that the kids never remember all the fun things you did the first 2 months of summer, only the last week! End it with a BANG!
