Yeah, I know today is not Thursday. I bet you are wondering what is so special about a Thursday?
Aug 9th daughter goes back to school! YAY!!! It just so happens to land on a Thursday. I am kinda miffed as to why the first day of school would start on a Thursday, but then again I do live where there are red-necks
Yeah... some people are morons. Oh... lookie there, I used a term my hubby uses
I know I should not be jumping for joy, that my daughter is going to be gone for 8 hours. *secret yay!* Ok... I am not jumping for joy, will hurt my knees and ankles and I would probably fall.
Soo... I will just be VERY, VERY HAPPY that no more bickering, no more tattle-taling, and no more of hearing "MOM!!" or "ANDREW!!" in a loud screetching scream. My ears can finally rest!!
BOOOOOOoooooo!!! *hiss hisssss* Having to wake up at 6am and watch for the bus and make sure daughter gets on it! Oh and even more of a BOOOOO for when it starts to get cold and I have to wait outside with her for the bus to make sure the bus driver knows she is riding that day. Ok... I think I am not booing about the cold as much as I am about the getting up at 6am and trying to keep daughter quiet as to not wake up her brother before she leaves. Otherwise I am up until son takes a nap which would be like 2pm, if I am LUCKY that he will even take a nap and if I only get a couple of hours of sleep before waking up to get daughter off to school then I am screwed.
On a side note to the above: we bought son a shirt that is in camo, he loves camo, and it says "NAPS are the enemy". Which is soo true for him. He thinks napping is going to make him miss something. I mean how much is he going to miss when it is only him and his gimpy moma at home. OH he might miss me taking a shower without him, or better yet me eating the last cream horn without him. *rolls eyes*
Joonie- Your kids go back to school quite early in the summer but dont feel guilty about being pleased every mother feels that way
You are up and about late at night ( or early hours of the morning) are you okay??? its 10.30am saturday morning here
Oh and how are you? Feeling a bit better, infection wise? I know you probably are not doing so well with your RA.
Well, I guess I am off to bed, it is 4:40am here. I need to rest before the trip to the mall later this morning. UGH! See, that is why you never promise a kid anything. I should have listened to my mother, the ole wise one
Did I see somewhere that your in Alabama? Seriously, how cold can it get down there?? What, does it get so cold that you have to put a sweater on? Come to MI if you want to experience cold. Or don't, cuz cold sucks.
Yes, it does get cold here. Some mornings it is down to 28 degrees with a windchill at 14 degrees. One time we actually got a blizzard. I know not the same as for ya'll who live up north, but it is a big difference to go from 100 degree weather to nice weather like 70 degree and then to 28 dress freezing cold in less than a couple of months.
Sheeeeeeeeew we do not go back to school til after Labor Day!!! I am really going to enjoy my mornings home alone once again tho. I will miss having the housework help. We crank down how many chores the girls have during the school year. Bleh.
I have a cartoon on my fridge that shows mom sending very unhappy kids out the door for the first day of school and she has a bottle of champagne behind her back. I should scan it and post it. Hmmm i will do that later lol.
I dont know how it is in the US but my son did his A levels this year (I know it will mean nothing to you), but after these exams he decided that he doesnt want to go to university (he's always (since he was 5/6) wanted to be in the FBI
I have to say its fantastic.... no more school, no more stressing about him stressing about study, no more door slamming. Our son has turned into a normal human being, gets up (has a very loud alarm), goes to work, comes home (gets yelled at for not emptying the dishwasher and leaving the bathmat soaking on the floor... I know, I know, there's no pleasing some mums
So you see there is light at the end of the tunnel for you all!
