One more day and Veronica (6) will be home for the summer.
The tension is palpable. Mac (4) is wearing his Superman pajama top around town and keeps repeating, "I want a toy." Is this to prepare me for what is to come? Is this a sign of solidarity with his sister? Goodness knows we appreciated that Veronica didn't have homework last night. But what will the four of us do every day for the next several weeks? I can't afford to go to Target and OfficeMax everyday, which certainly entertained the mini-masses today and only cost me a package of gum.
And, after a relatively cool spring, the heat is kicking in, so coaxing the kids outdoors will work until the biting bugs and the heat co-mingle, which seems happens earlier each day. (I have a cute new tool bar A LOT that can now confirm for me how hot it actually is at 7 a.m. According to it, we should see the 90s again today. Early June. Yikes!)
This will be the first complete summer I will be working from home and I just heard from one client that they have a lot of work for me. Anyone else having a bit of a freak out about your kids being home for the next several weeks?
How many weeks is this summer break anyway? Any survival techniques you recommend? (Maybe we'll run a top ten list of suggested techniques/cheap places to go…if we get enough responses!) Okay, Wilmington, what do you do to keep your sanity during the dog days of summer?
Say it with me: "Summer camp, summer camp, summer camp."
ReplyDeleteMy kids can't wait to go to Ashton Farms. Oh, wait! I better go sign them up right now!
Ahhhhhh, the summer is kicking in and the weather is beautiful. No humidity, no unbearable heat, cool and comfortable nights, and no bugs. I ask you, who would leave Colorado for none of the above?
ReplyDeleteKel,
ReplyDeleteRepeat after me: beach, beach, beach!
(And don't you know, I moved here for my awesome man...!)
