Maybe you can volunteer at school? I did that so often when my children were in elementary school ..I was able to keep my eye on them that way, plus help their teachers :) Treat yourself to a spa day or something nice, Jenny, when they all begin school.

The positive part of this is that you have built some very very strong bonds with your littles that they will not forget.

It's been boring for them, it's too hot to really enjoy playing outdoors, and with my daughter not working there's very little extra money for entertainment. You can only go to the beach or fishing so many times ya know, and they've seen every movie rental possible.<br /><br />School is great for kids. There's other kids to socialize with! There's A/C!! There's school concerts and football games, hoorah!!! We are jazzed that school is going to start this week.<br /><br />Mo is probably so excited Jenny. She'll be fine gwammaw!
