I can’t wait for school to start.
I said it.
There will be a resounding ‘Hooray’ from the parents on Monday morning here in Pearland. It will happen at 8 am. Listen for it.
It isn’t that our children are bad. Maybe I shouldn’t speak for all parents, but I am sure most feel the same way I do. You get engrossed in a magazine article? ‘Mommy Mommy. Come see what I did!’ You start dusting the living room? Mommy Mommy… come see me splash in the puddle on the sidewalk!’ You start doing *anything* and you hear… Mommy, Mommy, I’m hungry (thirsty, the dog is licking me, I want the dog in my room but she won’t follow me in there [smart dog]…) ARRGGHHHH
Dont get me wrong, I have enjoyed this Summer. We accomplished our goal for this Summer-learned how to swim independantly. Last year, it was learn to ride a bike and we did that one too. We are 2 for 2 on the Summer goals. We spent a million dollars at Space Center, read about 150 books, and practiced our midline grabbing. (you can ask me what that is if you dont know already) I am just DONE for this year. Summer goodbye.
With the coming of a new school year comes the promise of another holiday season. I am already thinking about how I want to decorate, the fun times that our little family have driving around our neighborhood looking at the lights, Thanksgiving. What will Ethan be for Halloween? Last year he had the BEST costume-a dinosaur. He said he wanted to be a toilet (of all things) this year-this will not come to pass if I have a word to say about it. It just isn’t kosher.
It has been a difficult day today. I just feel cranky. I really don’t know why. I just want to be alone. Not mad at anyone, I just need to decompress a bit.
