Summer Journal 6/4 Ive decided to keep a journal about my experience of summer vacation 2014. Last year was so ridiculously stressful that it became comical. So here I am, wanting to document that. Its the night before summer vacation, and not a child is sleeping. Coming out of their room a hundred and fifty times to pee, have a drink, and to ask me something that usually ends up with being I love you. I am trying to keep my composure, and evoke my inner calm before unleashing the inner beast on my kids. I am so ready for these kids to just stay in their room and fall asleep so that I can sit on the couch in peace and enjoy my Apple Martini in a frosted glass, the one guilty pleasure I allow myself. How do these kids NOT want to pass out at seven pm sharp? Their little bodies awake before the birds do, and they are ready to rock and roll from the moment they open their eyes. I stress out in anticipation thinking about the amount of energy their little bodies harness and how they will be unleashing that energy on me all day long for the next never ending three months. But here we go, like it or not. Tomorrow after school lets out they are mine, all mine. No summer long camp for this family. I have a slightly better game plan than last year, and I am trying to take comfort in that. Im holding on to that game plan as my ticket to saving my sanity; but I know better. So as I sip on my drink and listen to the silence I will pray, and gather as much patience for tomorrow. With all this being said, I love these little rugrats, or as I also call them The Destructors with my entire being and do look forward to spending a quantity on quality time with them. After all, they are MY favorite people.
