Well we slept in today and just finished breakfast. Now it is time for me to get some work done, that is if the kids allow me to. They have a bad habit of interrupting me and that makes it very difficult to write. One part of me will be sorry to see the summer end, but the other part is glad that the kids will be back on school soon. I have probably mentioned that before…lol
Schools out and OMG
As a mother the beginning of the school year is exciting and new. We start fresh with new paper, notebooks, pencils and each day we help with homework and projects. As the year wan’s on, we get to that point where we cannot wait for the last day of school. The last few weeks, I don’t even bother to ask about homework, or sign notebooks. I am burned out and exhausted from constant go go go.
For some reason the teachers decide that they need to do a crap load of projects and such the last few weeks and honestly, I couldn’t care less. It may seem like I am a bad mother to them the last few weeks, but seriously, I am past the point of caring what they think. My kids will have a new teacher next year and we get to start fresh.
Then comes the realization that school is officially out and we can sleep in. Yay for me! However, big HOWEVER! Now I have three kids at home who think it is my job to entertain them. Zzzzz, I don’t think so. When I was a kid, we entertained ourselves and this summer they have no choice but to do the same. I know I will hear some whining, ( that is inevitable) but they are going to spend as much time out of doors as possible. (I hope and pray) O.o
Pontoon

I am already missing summer. I didn’t get to go out on the pontoon boat this summer as the motor broke down and we just didn’t have the money at the time to fix it. We are going to have it fixed over the winter, so that come spring time, we can hit the water with a vengeance to make up for lost time and fun.
Getting married
It seems like everyone is getting married. I don’t know if it is this time of year or what, but all of a sudden people are just up and heading to the court house to get married. This is two in the last week alone that have done it. Must be something about the end of summer or something like that .
I am just shaking my head over it and giggling a little. One couple, I know should not have done it, but there is no talking sense into people who think they are in love. Ah well, I just wish them the best of luck and when it starts to fall apart, I won’t answer my phone for a while. I think it is rude to say I told you so, so it is better not to say anything at all.
Good times
Wow, last summer was so much fun, but this one is just boring. We did so much last year. This year we seem to be stuck in the house and bored out of our minds. I want to go out on the river and camp so bad, but the boat motor is not working so we can’t. This really is a bad summer. My mom just went into the hospital for radiation treatments and isn’t feeling very well as a result either. Stress seems to be the main menu this year. I really hope that things will quiet down and we can relax a bit. Perhaps I will make another family night soon. It’s about the only thing I can do to break the monotony.
I love my life
Things are looking up so far for this year and I am fabulously happy. Spring is here, the weather is awesome and I am so ready for summer to get here as well. All that I need is for the water to warm up, so we can swim in the river and boating season will be in full swing. I just want to put on my bathing suit and chill in the sun four days on end, and I intend to as soon as humanly possible. We are almost there.
