Cindy in FL. Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I never thought I would say that, but my grandchildren are wearing me out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 me too--- mostly so the neighbor children will stop bugging us during the day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My kids are in b&m school, and I'm bummed there are only 4 more weeks of summer. One of which they will spend away from home. I had so many things I wanted us to do. :( 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I can't wait to have the pool to ourselves (and our homeschooling friends), the museums, the library, our favorite hang outs. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 But I am sure I'll be relieved when we are back on a regular routine. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We have one more month and it's jam packed. I'm excited. We had a great summer so far and it's just getting better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 School starts here in two weeks. I'm looking forward to beginning but I could use a few more weeks of summer. We'll be busy busy busy once it starts up. And I worry about the stress level of my oldest, who goes to public school and will be in high school this year. Yikes!

blondeviolin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Me too. But I'm not ready for winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 At first I was looking forward to it since I'm not use to so many kids being out and about. But it actually has had little impact on us. So I don't really care. Which is good because I think I heard that teachers might be going on strike in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I love field trips in September, before anybody else gets organized. =) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes! Everywhere will be less crowded and I won't have neighbor kids in and out of the house all the day long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm always excited when public school starts so the parks empty out during the day again. My kids love playing with the masses, but it wears me out! The zoo and park and lake are so much more chill with 80% of the capacity gone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My kids are in b&m school, and I'm bummed there are only 4 more weeks of summer. One of which they will spend away from home. I had so many things I wanted us to do. :( I can't believe how quickly the summer has gone by. We have enrollment next week, and school starts the following week!

xixstar Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I want the same so that library programs stop filling up. Registration starts at midnight when this pregnant mama is sleeping and almost all have been full by morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm excited for the public schools to start back up too - ready for the library and parks to clear out a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfIOnly Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was just thinking how cool it is that there's enough kids at the park for my kids to play super fun tag games and stuff and how it'll becoming to an end soon. Same thing with neighbor kids. Plus, we've been enjoying some of the free summer lunch school programs in the parks this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Our homeschool will start next week and I'm so looking forward to getting into the regular schedule, them using their time more profitably and having a reason for neighbor "grandma" to not drop the 5 year old off at our house (okay, she's only done this once, but it moves my cheese ;-). He'll start PS K in a few weeks, too. Can't wait until all the music lessons and other classes/co-ops normalize and we have a set schedule. Summer inconsistency has made my crazy!

Cinder Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Public school here starts Monday! Traffic will be immensely insane. I feel like I haven't had a break from the horrible traffic all summer. :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We start Monday and I'm not ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 ladybugs Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The only reason why I look forward to school starting is so I don't get strange looks wherever I go with my son. The rest is "whatever". I don't like the busses on the streets too making it take twice as long to get anywhere if I forget that school gets out at a certain time.

waa510 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm right there with you!! I'm ready for my kids' friends to stop interrupting school by ringing the doorbell constantly. I let the kids go and play and try to console myself with the fact that we got a lot done last month during rainy season. But, yes, it would be nice for all the kids on base to go back to their school day so we can enjoy going out and about in peace. Love that no one asks us questions though. That has been nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I hear you. I hate crowds and I'm ready for our neighbor kids to be back at school. If I can manage it, I won't run any errands after 2:30, and we'll go to the park between 9:00-10:00 after all the crazy drivers are off the streets. This is the first year that both kids will be home and I'm so excited that I can avoid the dangers of walking to school at 3:00 with all the parents who are jockeying for better spots in the pickup line or places to park.

Reefgazer Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ugh, I dread the end of summer...it goes by way too fast and my kids are growing up way too fast! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
