Well, our start to our first morning after all of the vacations is really starting out rough. The girls are fighting (over silly things, of course). Katie wants to go outside and play (who could blame her - it is 69 deg. right now). BUT, I am making them make their beds, pick up their rooms, and get out the school work their teachers sent home for the summer. They are sitting at the kitchen table right now, complaining. They just don't get that if they get it done, they can go do as they please, the rest of the day. The more they complain, the longer it takes.

Anyhow, I'm going to go make my bed now, and get dressed. I need to pick up the kitchen and then I'm heading to the garden - with or without kids who are finished with their work.

I'll be back.....

Welcome to my world! Sheridan and Gage have been out of school since May 25 and "summer" is old and boring for them now.

Thanks, Shelby. I agree, they need structure. Since they got out of school on the 9th of June, there has been NO structure, whatsoever, with all that we had going on for the 2 weeks leading up to vacation, and then vacation itself, then the 4th of July celebrations, etc. I think their problem today was getting them to realize that they need to get back into a nice, calm, summer routine. After they finished their "school work", I sent them outside for a while. Now they are eating lunch, and when that is done, we are all going back outside, so we can weed the garden.

Thanks for your support - its nice to know I'm not alone.....
