Today I looked at the calendar and realized that July 1st is Sunday! I went into a panic as I learned that my summer vacation is flying by. I had no plans for this summer, I just wanted to enjoy some R&R and that is exactly what the kids and I have been doing the past three weeks. Thankfully, my mom came to pick them up when they got out of school for the summer and I enjoyed three days of quiet as I finished up at work. I then headed off to AR to pick up my bundles of joy. DQ spent a week with my parents as LP and LB drove me crazy during our week at home. Day 1: they venture outside while I'm on the computer, I go to check on them. I look around the front, no kids, the back, no kids. I call out to them...they are across the street checking out the neighbors puppies. Day 2: they venture out while I'm on the computer, I go to check on them. I look around the the front, no kids, the back, no kids. I call out to them...they are down the street looking for puppies. I decide the cannot go out while I'm on the computer. Day 3 and 4 are spent at the local MS Health Department. Check out my previous blog to learn about that horrific experience.
So we head back to AR the weekend to attend a cousin's funeral and spend the next week there. Thankfully, I took a couple of books with me or I would've died from boredom or possibly would have eaten myself into a coma. There is nothing to do and the closest town with a store/restaurant is twelve miles away. Of course the kids had a blast and I had to look for LB every night. He was out exploring with his cousin and having a good ole time.
We've been home for over a week now and life is grand. I've been catching up on my tv favorites such as Matlock and Murder, She Wrote. We've been staying up late every night to at least 12:00 am and sleeping in daily. By the time we get up and moving it's time to catch the afternoon episode of Matlock. Yesterday, we didn't leave the house one time and today would be the same if I didn't need to get a few groceries.
I'm truly enjoying the summer. I don't have any major trips/vacations planned, so there is no rush. Life is grand!

I wish I had figured out how I could be a stay at home mommy this summer before I got the kids enrolled in the summer camp. Passionfruit doesn't bring them home until after 6PM so me and the kids don't get alot of together time. It's starting to show with children protesting going to camp & preschool.
The idea on how I could be a stay at home mommy this summer only hit me last week sometime. Glad your having a good summer.
