Mother's Log - Summer Vacation - Day One

Schedule:
Sleep in until 10:30 am - (yes, the kids let me sleep-in - YAY! Was woken up at 10:30 am because apparently they were hungry.)

Kids play in back yard while Mommy showers, and sorts laundry.

Establish chore schedule

QUESTION? Should allowance be tired to chores? Or just to teach responsibility about money? DECISION - Will try to tie to chores to allowance for the summer. Ten week experiment commences today.

Bolton Tractor Pull - 6:00 pm
Boys want to go to a tractor pull. Have never been myself. Should be entertaining.

Sibling fights before 1 pm - 23 and counting.
Mommy has taken 2 extra strength Tylenol in an attempt to circumvent a headache. Didn't work.

Optimism that I will survive the summer with the three children is fading. Have Son One home for another full week before he starts any of his camps.

Need to figure out what to do with all of the *wonderful* school work that has come home. How long do I need to admire it before I can recycle?

While grocery shopping WITH the kids I was wondering why I was so looking forward to the end of school?

We spent the morning cleaning up rooms and sorting through all the school work, my recycling bin is now pretty full but each child helped me pick out the special stuff to save...
