101 Reasons Why I Wish the Kids Were Still in School

101 Reasons Why I Wish the Kids Were Still in School

I love my sons more than anything in the world.

They have been counting down for summer vacation since the beginning of May.

I have been dreading the beginning of summer vacation since the beginning of May.

As a work at home mom, summertime is always a little tricky for me. The boys (obviously and rightfully-so) don’t want to be at home all day. But during the school year I get into a routine and that routine is something that keeps my work-life running smoothly.

When school got out yesterday, I was hit with a dose of reality.

Summer is HERE.

Oh, my.

    Love it. I will definitely be making use of the library events and the free wi-fi so I can work while they play.

    AMEN (times 101).

    Kids count down the days until summer break – us moms count down the days until the *end* of summer break. 😉

    The joy of having boys. When he started school I didn’t know what to do with myself. Now he’s home, and I don’t know what to do. It was so quiet!
