I CANT take it anyMORE!


I Can't Wait for summer!! Seriously. I know living here we dread summer, but I am more sick of school than my kids. I am DONE. I need a BREAK! I can not wait to get out of town and enjoy kicking back. I cant wait to go watch my kids at the Rodeo. To cheer them on and to watch them running with their cousins and friends. I cant wait to hang out and play cards and watch Marshall cheat. I cant wait for Jessica to experience the Trek!! Such an amazing experience. And to get to be a background part of it! I cant wait to go to UTAH! To see the family and drive up the canyon to fish and hang at the park. To run around bare foot (yep) Caz you can do that there. To sit in a lawn chair outside and enjoy the cherries picked off my sisters tree. ( i would enjoy little green apples to had she not removed the tree. yes. I'm still mad) To walk to the bakery in the morning.( the walk cancels out the carbs i WILL be consuming) To hang out talking and playing cards till all of us have fallen asleep on the floor in the front room. I cant wait for the kids to get to chase Mike and Rachel's chickens around and play in the fort he built. To go to the fair and the street party and the parade, the movie on the house, the sparklers, the fireworks , my husband fighting with the police and my son (the guilty one) standing silently by his Dads side while the cop blames him for setting off illegal fireworks. Um..Brandon, any idea who supplied my son with those? I cant wait to go to California. More FAMILY! The beach, hanging out at Shelly's, Late night In-n-Out. Late night talks. New friends down the street. Girls Camp! Late night talks. Getting to know the girls. Dance Parties. Realizing all the time and effort was worth it! I am done coming down on my kids about reading and homework and chores and "if you needed that in the morning why am I just hearing about it at 10 o'clock tonight!" blah blah blah! And I'm really Done with teachers who think they are helping by telling me " Maybe they should have some consequences at home for not turning stuff in"..........Really? Wow. What a GREAT idea. I' ve NEVER thought of that! You mean I, their mother, should help teach them responsibility. OH, Thanks for clearing that up. Consequences for their actions. What a genius idea!!! OK maybe that's the button that sent me over the edge....maybe I was teetering there on my own but either way...I AM READY for SUMMER!
