I hate when I've been at home with my kids for 2 months for summer break and it's actually only been 2 weeks.

Couldn't sleep. Out of coffee. 3 kids on summer break. I think this is how the Hunger Games got started.

My son is mad at me because I won't let him use a saw.
Today is the longest day of the year or if you're a parent just like every day over summer until your kids go back to school.

Kid: "Mom, I'm so borrrred."
Me: "Here's a list of chores."
Kid: "Oh. Uh. Actually, I'm good thanks. Bye."
On a scale of 1-to-OMG FOR THE LOVE OF SHIT PLEASE GO AWAY how is summer vacation going for you and the kids?

Deep stuff happening on summer break, you guys.
I'm quite certain the phrase "Weapons of Mass Destruction" was originally used for siblings who are nearing the end of summer break. #Ugh

My summer vacation is 4% drinking, 3% camping, 2% gardening, 1% running from bees and 90% watching my kids perform lame tricks in the pool.

Beach vacations: when you want a refreshing change from saying "wow!" about things your kids do at the park to things they do in the waves.

Just heard my son scream "I'M ASKING NICELY!!!" at my daughter, so summer break is going really well.

My son woke me up at 6AM to plan his summer reading list, so apparently common core totally skips the part about how summer vacation works.

- Now with:
50% more fighting
10x the whining
Loads more dirty dishes and
0 chances to refresh, rejuvenate or relax
Roses are red.

Violets are black.
The countdown is on
until school gets them back.
Things I've learned since becoming a mom: Summer: It's the only time we both can wear onesies.
