Is summer over already???!!!

[wdwnutze]

Is anyone else ready for the summer to be over? My kids have done nothing but fight and complain. I wish it were Sept. I'm not having a good day or week for that matter. Nothing earth shattering but lots of little things that have me on the edge. I am going to take them swimming in a little while and hope that it will at least tire them out so they will go to sleep early tonight. Sorry about the vent but I was hoping it would make me feel better.

The first few days were like that for me. My kids were beastly and the weather wasnt even summer weather! Not my plan for summer.
But they have gotten a little better this week and the weather has improved 100% so I can stand it for a little while. However with our WDW trip being the last week of August, I have to admit I dont mind pushing it a bit, LOL!

And vent all you want, trust me I do know how you feel. Hopefully it gets better for you too.

I have my own personal little countdown calendar on the fridge - only 60 more days until they go back. I love them dearly and enjoy not having a set schedule, but the bickering is driving me up the wall and it's been either too hot or too cold to spend much time outside. I can only imagine how much fun it will be when the boredom sets in!

this is when Im glad DS is an only
the first few days last week were tough - DS is home for a 2 weeks, next Thurs we go away. When we return he's off for a week at Nature's Classroom camp.
He kept saying he was bored, when's Dad coming home, etc
Then the weekend came and was he ever kept busy!
I havent heard a thing about boredom this week
He did ask tho what I have planned for this 3day weekend

I hate summer - heat, bugs, etc... I can't wait for fall and 50 degree weather!

I wish it was fall already.

My kids start back to school in 39 days.

I have witnessed a miracle this summer!!!

My DD will be sarting HS in the fall at the same school her 16yo brother is at. Well at basketball camp she was asked to play varisity BB summer league. My DS has taken her to the games and when he can't he finds a ride for her (without being asked). He also asks her if she wants to go places with him. They have also taken their younger brother with Down's out on several outings (without being asked) and eagerly get up on Sunday mornings to help with his Challenger baseball games.

Did aliens take over my teens bodies This is the most relaxed summer I have ever had!

Don't you have a basement or garage that needs cleaning or flower beds that need weeding? I imagine that the kids would be much more cheerful after an hour or two of that, my son's attitude always improved immeasurably after spending some time weeding the flower beds. He really hated weeding flower beds so his attitude stayed pretty good after just one time.

Hope the kids mellow out and start enjoying their summer, soon. I'm not ready for summer to be over

You guys have a long way to go if you're wishing for back-to-school! I'm not looking for the summer to be over, but you just made me check my calendar. LOL! Forty-eight days until school starts.

I go back on Aug. 22nd, so I do NOT want summer to be over in the least bit. I love summer. I don't hate working but I like being laid back a whole lot more--even with chauffering the kids around, at least they are MY kids and I don't have to grade anything!

I know what you mean, the first two days it was bad...


Now that they have gone to half day camp, it has gotten better.


I know the last week of August we will be in WDW as well, so I am aware of how long the summer is....


They go back Sep. 4th, if that helps... and if you beleive it, there are some schools here in NJ that aren't EVEN OUT YET! Camden High School last day is June 30th!
