No, I’m not going to France or to Spain. I’m not going to California or NYC. I’m not even going downtown to enjoy the art, music and other cultural city events. No…I’m going to take a stay-at-home vacation while my daughter is away at summer camp.
No more:
….tantrums, whining and begging for the extra hour of TV or dessert before dinner…
No more:
… reminders to wash, brush, comb, shampoo…
No more:
…refusals to put board games, books, magazines away and to pick up clothes….
No more:
…begging for this and that during every shopping excursion
No more:
…piles of electronics tripping me at every turn
No more:
… wailing about losing and breaking every item she’s ever owned
No more:
… slamming doors, cabinets, fridge and drawers
No more:
…stomping up and down the stairs 100 times a day
No more: iPod/radio blaring
No more: medication reminders
Who needs Vegas or Vermont when I can have a peaceful, quiet house for 3 weeks and one day?
What about you? How are you managing now that the kids are home? Are you finding down time? What is keeping YOU sane?
