I don't know about you but I am having a difficult time this summer with my kids. I don't remember past summers being so difficult to entertain them. They're always bored and always at each others throat and Lord help you if ask them to do anything. We have a punishment to pick up a bucket full of sticks if there is complaining of any sort. Let's just say that my yard has absolutely no sticks or debris!
I am just at a loss this year for some reason. I don't want them in front of the TV but I also don't want to play Candy Land and Uno all day either. A tight budget and high gas prices I think are having an affect. I am trying to consolidate trips. And to be honest I don't like running the roads all of the time. I'm a home body. But home can turn into a prison after a while.
We've done some flower drying, cake baking and a few crafts. We also gone to the river on a hot day, to the park and library. We have a few small gardens going that they are helping with. But you can only do those activities for so long. WHAT IN THE WORLD DO I DO WITH THEM THE REST OF THE DAY!!!?!!?!??!
Teachers don't get paid enough. There's no way in the world I could do that job. To maintain a room full of kids from 8am to 3pm. Whaa???! No way. :) Thank the Lord for teachers and school staff! God bless them richly, giving them strength abundantly, wisdom and health!
Calling all mothers and teachers: Leave a comment with your best summertime suggestion!
This world can be like a Merry Go Round where at times it can be monotonous and a little sickening. But other times it can be filled with music, laughter, and wonderful familiar faces. Well, that's what my world is like - I'd like to share it with you!
