Whew! It is hot outside and it's really not even into the really high 90's yet. I work outside right now and it is hot!! But the rain is supposed to be coming and I'm really looking forward to it.
The boys are in from their dad's house now and the BF has his son here too. It's a full house right now. I'm feeling highly out-numbered these days. However, it is quite humbling to have those 3 here to look after. Feelin' like a real mom again. I could do without all the daily chores of laundry, cooking and cleaning, but I suppose it comes with the territory.
The older boys have been staying up super late...like 1 or 2 in the morning while the younger one is struggling to keep up and makes until about 10 (if he's had a nap). That just means they are all grouchy in the morning hours. Oh, how I miss those days. Sleeping in till 12 and eating cold pizza and watching the local channels daytime movie (before everyone could afford cable). Heck even in high school watching Jerry Springer...that was a long time ago. I'm glad the kids are at the age where they are making their summertime memories. Although, I do feel a little parental pressure to do my best to make some fun times for them.
We will be going to the ever popular Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor and hopefully squeeze in Dinosaur Valley just before school starts. But before all that we'll hang out by the pool, play Rock Band, and watch scary movies and eat lots and lots of buttery popcorn on the living room floor.
I'm so glad summer is here. For my boys so they can have their break from the pressures of formal education, but more for me. Making Kool-aid ice cubes and teaching them how to swim...it's really one of my favorite times to build memories with my kiddos.
