I asked the question on Twitter this morning “Two more days until my 11 yr old is out of school. Do you get excited about your kids being out of school, stressed, or both?” and was thrilled to get a good mix of answers includes those below..
Yes, I am super excited that my 5 year old daughter is already out of school and that my 11 yr old son will be out of school is T-24 and counting. But I also get a little stressed when I think about trying to run a business (AtlantaMoms.com too), transport my son to camp, cook, clean, play, travel, etc..
Here’s what I’m most excited about:
- Not having to wake up at or before the crack of dawn to get the kids off to school.
- Being able to jump in the car and go to the park (or where ever) whenever we want.
- My son experiencing some amazing summer camps.
- Going to the beach with my family for a week.
Here’s what I’m least excited about:
- Not knowing from minute to minute when my 5 year old is going to come into my office or whatever room I happen to be working in at the moment, and ask for a snack, help with a toy, or for me to play a game
- The money I’m going to spend on gas for transporting my son to his four summer camps.
- Having to take the kids everywhere I go.. grocery store, etc..
What are your most and least favorite things about the kids being out of school for the summer?
