You could try my mom’s favorite line, “If you can’t find something to do, I’ll find something for you.”

“Something” always involved a highly unpleasant chore.

Welcome back!

I envy your seasons. They sound much better than – well we hit 100 before May ended looks like it won’t be in the 80′s again until winter.

Our seasons – hot, hotter, hottest.

Those spur of the moment trips are always the best. Glad you enjoyed. Give those kids an iTouch and they will be set for summer. HA.

“Sigh” I remember well. Although when I was a kid there was a lot less danger and we were able to roam the streets more in the summer, less boredom issues. Glad you are back, I’ve been checking! Look forward to your road trip story.

Ain’t it the truth. And nobody can pound down snacks like a 45-pound first grader. If I could bottle their metabolisms I’d be one rich lady.
(And I so remember being a teenager and managing to lay in one place for 4 hours. Oh, how I miss it.)

The thing about teenagers is that they are so desperate for NOTHING to do (between homework, chores, rehearsals, summer reading) that they absolutely do not whine when the nothing comes upon them.

If I didn’t tell them they needed to dust, I wouldn’t see them for days….

But I totally get about the neighbor kids darkening the doorstep. Only now it’s less “neighbor kids” and more “plague of locusts.”

And yet they’re all the size of pencils.
