The Countdown Begins!

Hi everyone!

It’s Mommy Monday!!!

I can’t believe it’s already here- the day I’ve been dreading for a couple of months now… MONDAY! Not just any Monday… THE Monday. The LAST Monday before school is out for the summer.

For the next 12 (very long) weeks, I will no longer be able to sit down to enjoy an entire cup of coffee, have a telephone conversation, or work on a project without an interruption every 5 minutes. My house, which normally stays clean and somewhat organized for 6-1/2 glorious hours, will be reduced to 15 minutes at any given time. Quick trips to the store will become 3 hour tasks…minimum! The sounds of the clock ticking, the pets snoring, and the radio playing in the background will be replaced by the summer phrases of “I’m bored! What can I do?!?” and “I’m hungry! What can I eat?!?” Honestly, I don’t know why they even bother to ask those questions… because they NEVER like the answers!

Maybe one day, when they’re grown and have kids of their own, they’ll finally understand WHY I always buy myself a huge chocolate cake in August!

Oh well… I’m sure we’ll all survive another summer vacation. After all, it’s only 72 more days until school starts, right?!?

Enjoy!
