Happy Summer, Moms!

Hey Moms!  How's your summer going?  Have you found sufficient ways to keep your kiddos busy?

If my kids had to vote right now, I'm not sure I'd get Mom of the Year.  I'm certain of it.  I'm that mean mom making my kids do a workbook over the summer.  It's called "Vacation Station."  It helps bridge the gap between the grades.  It should only take about 15 minutes per day.  Insert whining and complaining.  On those days, we've sat at the table for hours.  No joke.  HOURS.  I think they are slowing learning that I can't be broken on this one.

On top of that, I'm trying hard to get them reading.  They definitely prefer the downtown library.

My biggest battle are those stupid video games.  I really loathe them.  If your kiddos are gamers, how do you find a healthy balance there?  Hook a mom up.  I feel like I'm losing this particular battle.  And I blame myself.

Check in.  Let us know how your summer is going.  Tell us about your vacations.  Or Stay-cations.  Keep enjoying the break. The insanity will start soon enough.

I can hardly wait for homework to resume.  (Where's that sarcasm font when you need it?)

Keeping it real...
