Yep.............I am there. I am at the point that I am now saying I want to go back to work. I have almost survived Summer 2010........and no Straightjacket. Today though, yeah today was a day that was banner even in Hall Days. WOW. Decided early this AM that I would go to school for a little while. I also decided that I would take the kids with me, as I decided I really didn't want to get and pay for a sitter when I was volunteering my time. So Jeff came home when I made this decision, and helped or supposedly helped get the kids ready for the trip. UMM HMM. Kennedy has a cute dress on that I put on her, and Jeff put white tennis shoes on her, because that is all he could find. Of course that is all he could ever think of looking for also........and ole Jackson has a long sleeved RUGBY on that he will be able to wear in the dead of the winter..........and shorts. UMM HMM. So yeah we changed everyone and away we went.
So we end up at school, and this is a brand new environment again for them, they are up there in short bursts here and there, but I really try not to make it a constant that we end up there. So there they are all three of them standing on chairs writing on my dry erase board, and they do well for about 3 minutes. Soon packing peanuts all over everywhere, and then we have to go to the bathroom. Kennedy is potty training (which is a story for another time) and Jackson and her go in the boy's restroom. I hear screaming. And giggling. THIS MEANS ISSUES. So yeah in about 3 minutes ole Kennedy turned on all the sinks, and about flooded the bathroom. Of course she also falls and conks her head on the floor, as she is giggling uncontrollably. Great, the role of janitor on the first day back.
So..........get it all cleaned up and next thing I know Miss K has the EXPO markers out and is coloring on the newly waxed floor. AWESOME. Oh and the Expo Cleaner doesn't clean it up. GRAND. As I am cleaning this up, she is in the corner writing on herself, and the heater vent with markers. BEAT ME. NOTE TO SELF, next year I am getting a sitter.
My room has bulletin boards covered, and my desk moved to where I think I want it for right now, and it will get done. Oh and my requisitions are in also........wonder what I ordered that big bottle of chemicals for...............I am sure it was something great I had in mind.............I am ready to go back, for my sanity and my kids.
It is 8:14 and they are in their rooms...............I am done for the day...........just have had enough. Oh and where is the dude of the house? .........you got it .......golfing. Maybe I have time to go and plow the back 40 yet.
