Oh and so sorry about David’s lack of appreciation of the Cubs. I don’t know how I produced such a son.

I hear ya! This is the first year we sent my daughter to camp and I wonder why on earth I never did it before. It’s great – we’ve had two weeks of not worrying about what she’s doing – no harassing calls at work all day and she’s having a good time.

Being a teacher, I love having the summers off, but then I remember why I can’t wait for school to begin again. My kiddos need to socialize with kids their age, and I need to socialize with 4 year olds, because they understand that I am the boss of them, and they actually enjoy my presence in their life, LOL. My 10 and 12 year old are beginning to think they are the boss of me, and I seem to irritate them. And the heat isn’t helping here either. UGH… Camps are worth it. I may have to start a camp fund too.

Great Post!

School starts in two weeks?! Really?! Wow. Kids here don’t go back until after Labor Day weekend. Except for the kids way up north – they go back in August, but get two weeks off for the potato harvest in September/October.

I’m still trying to get my head around this. August? Really? In mid-August? We’re still up to our hips with tourists wanting lobsters and ice cream cones. Who’d scoop ice cream if not high school kids? We old geezers couldn’t do that work any more!

Enjoy the last of your summer. Temps here are in the 70s and humid as all get-out. Foggy and wet everywhere. Bleah. Got the AC going just so we don’t get mildew in the house. I think I might go put on a sweater.

Okay, you just reminded me why I’m glad I work outside the home. I think I’m a better mommy (not better than anyone, just better that what I would be) because I work outside the home. Just when I think I can’t handle it, I have my mom or his school to jump in while I go communicate with adults (or people that pretend to be adults, anyway…).

Oh, I do whine that I would like to be home with him, but then I have these moments – usually after I’ve spent a long stretch being mom, and he isn’t napping, and I’m tired, and the Hubby is off doing his thing, and I just want to cry…

I’m sure you understand well.

Well spaced camps are the only way to survive summer. I’m going crazy this week because we don’t have one, and we’re taking our big vacation next week and the kids are REALLY EXCITED and being REALLY SILLY and it’s a little much.

But you could live in TX, where it will be in the mid 90’s well through October and school doesn’t start until Augustfrickin’ 25.

Hang in there. We feel your pain.

We just got a new patio. Took – not kidding – 6 weeks to finish because it was a friend doing it and we were restricted to weekends which seem to held exclusively for rain or holidays by mother nature. Got it on Saturday last. Will post pictures.
