Its summer, hotter than hell and all of my children are of course home. You’d think that this would be a happy time. No school, no homework, just summer time fun. Well if you are that delusional to think that is what summer entails you are in for a shock. Summer in south Alabama is HOT. My kids still have school work to do. Yes I am the evil stepmother who makes the older kids do workbooks and read all the time! What fun for me? Is an hour a day to much? Maybe it’s not enough. Maybe I should home school them all them summer and do real work!
I have my chocolate escape waiting for me, but do I dare turn to it before noon? I think I must wait. It will go very well with my evening glass of Pino Nior….
As they run through the house chasing the Bitty, my oldest plows right into the wall, and of course the rest follow. I guess they all forgot why there is no running in the house. Yet I refuse to move, I will not investigate this. I will not yell at them for injuring themselves, I will do nothing but sit here and count to 10 before I lose what little sanity I have left. I will sit quietly with Eleanor and enjoy my youngest, my good quiet happy and still innocent child...

Oh the kids, summer, mayhem what could be better....oh that's right a piece of chocolate and a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be just like that with my kids. They will read in the summer and do workbooks and yes an hour is fine. But I agree they still need to stimulate their brains somehow, especially if they're crashing into walls!
Eleanor is such a pretty name...enjoy!
It's weird I think they rather be doing chores then doing their workbooks!
