I haven't blogged for a long time (not that anyone is missing it) but I really feel like I have some summer fears as it approaches.
Don't get me wrong, I like summer, the sun, swimming with the kids, sending kids outside to play for hours, camping and fishing, a relaxed bedtime, and other summer stuff. I just get anxious about the close proximity of my children for extended periods of time allowing them to torment each other more frequently.
You know that sound,....
"He's bothering me!" "Leave me alone!" "She's touching me!" ?? We've all heard them. I know I do, and they are very normal. Obviously if kids are at school, separated, in classes, not at home-I hear all this less. I'm gearing up, bring it on!!
All in all, I have really great kids. Normal, but great kids. I hope that they will allow me a break from the task of "referee" this summer. Who knows, maybe they'll all be best friends, begging with kind loving words for each other to play? Maybe??

I couldn't agree with you more, Laraine! I am also feeling a little "summer" anxiety as well. I am hopeful that I can crack down on it this year and make it more pleasant for all of us these next three months. Good luck to us both!! ;)
i wish we had a summer to worry about. i guess that we will have about 6 weeks, and it is hard even in that amount of time.
I know what you are talking about. Absense makes the heart grow fonder.
