I agree with Arlyn. You are the only bad mother. Heck I work outside the home 45-50 hours per week and I manage to keep a teenage boy not smelling TOO bad AND make crafts and nutritious dinners. I am super mom. And I’m NOT TENSE. I LOVE BEING AWAKE AT TWO O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING. I’M DOING THIS ON PURPOSE YEAH. (Pass me the Ativan, please.)

Flash cards and worksheets? My kids just used up their last brain cell playing video games and watching TV. Perfect way to start a new school year, brainless!

October is a long way away. Will they go later in the summer to make it up?

In our crappy climate I always wish the kids were in school in the summer and we could have September and October off, then we could actually do things like the zoo and park. I hope you get some fall weather in September to perk up your flu-y summer misery.

Yes, you are the only Bad Mother. The rest of us have dinner prepared by 11 AM, never any dirty laundry over 24 hours old and children who only respond with, “Yes, Mother, I will right now.” We don’t have to clean our houses because we’ve trained our children to do that from birth. In fact, we’re all bored out of our minds and wish we could have your life! Do YOU want to trade with ME?

This post is more proof that we are soul twins or something very similar. And guess what? It’s almost 10:30 and we are all still in pjs. And my girl never did learn to write her last name this summer, like I promised myself I would teach her to do.

I think you could have just described my summer. Good intentions for two and a half weeks and then chaos.

Vegas seems to be a popular destination!

I like being able to go back to school. Working makes me feel like I have more of a purpose right now then to act as an incubator. I am also looking forward to your LV visit since I will be there at the same time.

You must be so tired!

I’m going to Vegas too! Counting down to October 3rd. Woot woot!

I only have two kids, but my list of wants (as in want to do) are just as long. And my laundry pile sounds just as high. I think as moms we make a lot of goals that are just not really attainable all the time. I’m still working on the afghan for Josie…and she’s 4 weeks old now. I started it back in March. I hope I can get it done sooner than I did Kenzie’s. Hers wasn’t finished until she was 17 months old. LOL! I’m sorry Ashley’s school starts so late this year. Maybe I’m a nerd, but I always loved the start of school, I hope she’s not too bummed. Does Megan start school this year? Or is she just barely too young with her Sept birthday?
