Summertime Blues

Well it's official school is out!  Not that I don't enjoy quality time with my kids, however, I HATE SUMMER!  Every year it is the same thing.  "Mom, I'm bored", "Mom, I'm hungry", "Mom, he's in my room", "Mom, he hit me", ect...  The only difference this year is the boys have grown into full blown TEENAGERS!  It has not even been a full day of not being in school and already I'm getting the mouthy pouting argumentative crap from them.  Well, to be honest it was only Austin that gave me the attitude.  I would like to change my name during the summer from Mom to strange lady down the street that your not aloud to talk to!  How nice would that be?  I could keep an eye on them and make sure their safe from a distance.  They would have to entertain themselves and work out their arguments on their own.  Then again my house would probably be in shambles and I would loose at least one of them so I guess I'll have to stick it out.  I'm thinking of making them volunteer somewhere to give them at least something to keep them busy.  I refuse to let them waste away on games and TV all day everyday.  I'm  limiting them to three hours a day with games.  We will be going on vacation in July which will give them something to look forward to but other than that they are on their own when it comes to entertaining themselves.  Boy it's gonna be a long summer!!!
