summerreading Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 If I just had one solid week with the kids out of the house, then I could organize the house and plan lessons. Then I laugh, that's so never going to happen. Let's be practical and just get up a few hours earlier than everyone else, then over time it will add up. Then I think of how I work at night and my 4 year old pretty much forces me eyelids open in the morning repeating "food!" Starting to rethink my idea to HS year round. Might be nice to just say, we're done! Have a cake and kick them out into the backyard. It's so tempting to vent here because you all give great advice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 No advice. Just saying I tell myself those exact same things!!!! After this week I'm giving my kids a 2 week break from school before we start back with our schooling lite summer schedule. I told myself I could for sure declutter every room in the house during those two weeks until I realized that I'm not giving them a break from instrument practice and lessons or chores and that swim team starts next week four days a week. I still have to feed them. Yeah, I'll be thrilled to get through decluttering one room and maybe mopping the floor I've been ignoring for way too long....

AK_Mom4 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I like cake! And I totally approve of kicking them out into the backyard! I do all my HS planning in May after we are done with the school year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Cake, cake, cake.....we want cake :laugh: Yeah I said we are done with school. Now we can really work on the house. Uh yeah that is totally happening :rolleyes: Most of the reason it isn't falls on me. I just don't want to do anything. Please someone kick me in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torikei Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think my kids are done--they just haven't told me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 You can still do summer school, but first take two weeks off, feed them cake and kick them out to the backyard. Could they go to camp? (I can't see sigs so don't know ages.) Could they go to Camp Grandma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabinfl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Summer camp! Around here there are half-day offerings for kids as young as 3. Starts for us in 18 days (not that I'm counting! :hurray: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball mom Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I am so bad. We have no cake. We had a tiny bit of ice cream. It was taking up space and not enough for the kiddos to share so I just ate it :lol: I hid in the kitchen under the pretense of trying to find something to fix for supper.

Could they go to camp? (I can't see sigs so don't know ages.) Could they go to Camp Grandma? Visits to Camp Grandma would definitely be in order. But that usually means just Cartoon Network all day long. I'm sure they would have no problem with that. Camps seem out of the budget this year, but maybe I could find something. I am so bad.

I hide with ice cream all the time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
