Today, my two teenagers attend school for the last time before summer break...
In honor of this exciting event,
I've written an acronym especially for the occasion...
Snacks... be prepared, because you will go through 5 million of these, possibly more, as you feed your kids... their friends... and sometimes, their friends' friends...
There's nothing you can do to stop it...
a padlock for the pantry might slow them down...
but not much...
UV Rays, as well as the following types;
UVA, UVB, and sometimes even UHF (if the cable goes out)...
all speeding up our aging process and causing our dermatologists to dream of the next big ticket item that they'll soon be able to afford...
(like a Mercedes or maybe this year, a month long trip around the world... the sky's the limit!)
due to all of those rays...
(well, except for the UHF ones...)
More "together time" than you might actually be prepared for...
Main Hangout for sleepovers, as well as xbox marathons...
All husbands hate these...
Moms know, that at your own house,
you know what all the kids are up to,
which is really our secret weapon...
Shhhhh! Don't tell!!!
Endless begging to be driven here, there, and everywhere in between...
Always done with outstretched hands, palms up, for the money that they
will be constantly asking you for because they "need" it!
Hey! I need it too! You know, to replenish the snack cupboard!
Ranting and raving...
It's what all real moms begin doing approximately 2 to 3 weeks into summer...
Mostly due to all of the extra cleaning and grocery shopping that we are forced to do...
But we still have a part of us...
like our heart...
that's happy that our tadpoles are hanging out
for the summer, in the pond, with their mama frog!

I can relate. It is great to have them home for the summer but more work for sure!
Good post- I love the part about the snack. You should stock up on buffalo meat hotdogs...they are my favorite.
Thanks for the tip, Quarter!
You've got me wondering? Which parts of the buffalo actually go into the hotdogs? I hope better parts than are in beef hotdogs! (lips?... can you say, YUCK?!)
Thanks for visiting!
;)
