and already I'm praying for school to begin. At first I thought it wouldn't be so bad, because they'd be around to help me out with some cleaning projects and such. I also wanted to spend some time with them everyday working on math because they're all having problems with it. But the longer they're around, the crankier I get.
Is anyone else wishing for summer to go by fast?

I hope your children don't read this ;o) The phrase 'wouldn't be so bad' is very sad and the reason for that being that they could help you with cleaning seems even more sad - you are talking 'tongue-in-cheek' here, right? Sorry but I cannot understand why some parents just want to get their children back to school. A child is for life - not just for term time. (just my opinion - not a judgement, so no offence intended) [Wizzywig]
Matt- The summer activity clubs cost a fair bit of money, and having to get 3 of them into it is not feasable at this time. [katsmeow1213]
Nope. I homeschool so summer getting over means school for me too lol. I'm just glad there is only one still at home. Makes schooling much easier. :) [sisterjinx]
Yeah, a few a day is good. I seem to be right back to my old routine. Past few days have been no less than 20 posts a day. But next week I won't be on as much, at least for a couple days... surgery time, yay me glare [katsmeow1213]
My son has been out of school for summer break for a few weeks now. It has not been too crazy. We have been visiting family all this week, so he has been trying to be on his best behavior. [lilybug]
My kids are typically like that too. They are always well behaved when we are out somewhere or if someone is visiting. Of course we've already done our visiting for this year, and we aren't getting a visitor until the end of August. [katsmeow1213]
The most fun that you can have with your kids while they are at home is before they get the chance to stay home.. It is fun doing the planning, but carrying out the projects is a completely different story.. Good luck and maybe school will start again soon.. [DonnaLawson]
You have my sympathies on this one! Luckily I have another 3 weeks before my children break up from school and so it will be OK for me for a little bit longer yet! I will not wish the summer to go fast though I just wish for summer to start, at least if there is some hot weather the kids will play out all day! [gemini_rose]
Yes, I think this is adding to my struggles as it has been very wet and yucky... but also hot and humid! So the kids are pretty much stuck inside all day. Not much fun for any of us. [katsmeow1213]
