I am all for year-round school.

Joshua has a “fall break” of sorts yesterday and today.

And I want him to go BACK TO SCHOOL.

Because at 8:30 a.m. he’s wandering around the house with his “I’m bored” look (he doesn’t DARE say those words to me out loud), NOT playing with any of his THOUSANDS of toys, OR his sister, who by the way, would LOVE to play with him.

We need to get to the library today and check out every book you suggested yesterday!

Because right now, I am about to call my mom and figure out how she refrained from locking my brother and I in our rooms every school holiday. (Notice, Charles, I am leaving you out of this equation. Pretty sure you were not a problem.)

Oh wait, I do know. SHE GOT A JOB.  And sent us elsewhere.

Brilliant!

  2. Must be on the same wave length with you. Just telling Bob last night…”you have no idea how hard it is to watch 3 kids for 13 of the waking hrs of the day! and YOU get to grag ur coffee, drive to ur job listening to the news, then work amogst adults all day, and u get paid!/no changing poopy diapers, yelling, messes, making food all day long” ok seriously_ im done venting. uggg

  5. First of all, Emily – you do not hate to say, “I told you so!”, you’re probably doing the I told ya so dance right now!

    Secondly, Year round school is a disaster everywhere it is implemented. Florida had it in some areas and then went back to the traditional school year because it was such a mess!

    Thirdly, I can’t imagine Joshua being the problem!

  6. My kids go to year round school. They have 6 weeks off for summer and I cant imagine them having more than that. They are so ready to go back at the end of their three week breaks in between quarters and I am ready to have them go back. A job and daycare are amazing too if you have a great day care lady like I do.
