I'm really trying to enjoy this summer with my kids (9 and 7) because they'll be going to school for the first time this fall. We've homeschooled up till now. And truth be told, they'll be going only two days and we'll be homeschooling the rest but I miss them already! So I'm trying not to panic over my own deadline and keep my priorities straight! Thanks for the reminder, Diann!
It's a mixture of excitement and expletives as I think about the kids getting out.
I'm so ready to be done with driving to their private school (they go public next year!) But I will really miss the schedule of the day and trying to initiate that for the four of them.
We have another week or so. Ugh.
Oh man, you would go and do the whole, "they'll grow up sooner than you think" thing. Sheesh. Now I feel guilty.
Our school has been out since May 17 and I was complaining last night to my hubby and asking when school started again....*deep sigh*
It wouldn't be so bad if my kids didn't fight. Honest, I could handle it (TRYING to convince myself....)
Suzanne, I think if they didn't fight they'd be dead.
My son was complaining I killed all plants (he buys me flowers with his dad at the store). I told him, hey I've kept the four of you alive isnt' that more important?
LOL, Kristin!! No guilt intended, Suzanne! I've totally been there myself. There are just those days. And the cool thing is once they grow up, they realize you weren't so dumb after all! Who knew? *g*
Leanna, I'm sure that's not easy homeschooling! Our daughter does it, and it's no easy job!
Great post and cute picture of Jim! (I assume that's Jim)
Hugs, R
LOL, Rachel! Yes, that's Jim. *g*
I've never gotten over the feeling of school's out - even though I haven't beem in school for over mifflemuffle years. I don't think you ever outgrow the feeling of summer, even if you have to work through it.
Actually, there's something essentially wrong about working through the summer.
Amazing how those school years shape our lives. ;)
Suzanne, I know what you mean about the kids fighting!
I keep a chart on a dry erase board in the summer to keep my sanity. They get "marks" for things like fighting, leaving stuff out, arguing with me, etc and if they have few enough marks at the end of the week, they get a reward. Too many marks and they start losing privileges.
I was hoping to not have to do a chart this summer, but well, one day into summer break and I'm thinking we'll need it.
Last fall as I was volunteering at church one morning, I told an elderly man, "My kids started school today," to which he replied, "Well, then, Happy Mother's Day!"
;)
My youngest son, Brock, will be starting 6th grade in September. Middle school they call it. What happened to junior high?
I'm sad. I've volunteered at the school he's at since my 9th grader was a kindergarten there. I know most of the teachers and office staff. They've been there through the death of my dad and all the other ups and downs of life.
I'm just not ready to say good-bye yet. He can stay another year or two, can't he???????
I feel so fortunate to have been able to volunteer while both boys were in school. Also fortunate to have had wonderful people to work with at our school.
"Thank you" to you teachers and staff that have been there not only for my children but for me too. I appreciate you and your friendships.
Oh my goodness, Ane, I cracked up over the "mifflemuffle" thing! LOL!!
Sorry you have to do the chart again, D! *g*
Julie, what a great quote!
Rhonda, that's awesome you've been able to volunteer at the school. Since my husband is a principal, I know how much he appreciates parents like YOU who get involved with their kids' education! Thank you!
