I'm sooo ecstatic about being out of school for the summer! For me, and for my 3 boys.
Things I'm looking forward to for the summer:
going to Splash, the beach, grandma's house with the blow up pool, visiting my baby brother Tommy and his girlfriend Ashley going swimming in their pool, youth group activities, and just not worrying about my homework, or having to get up early and take the boys to school, and Bob to work.
We only have one car, and a little one at that. We are grateful for our little car. Even the thought of getting rid of it makes me sad. Lots of good memories in that car. But there's no air conditioning, and the driver side window doesn't role down. Mix that with a 5'10, 13 year old who is an Aspie, a teaser of a 10 year old, plus a very active 4 year old, (who is seated right behind Aspie kicking the back of his chair) and you have a very sweaty and grumpy Josh, and a mommy that is just trying to focus on the road and not crash because of the earsplitting screams. Ahh yes, that is probably what I'm not looking forward to the most. But actually this is a daily occurrence, so I'm desensitized and partially deaf in my left ear. The other day I pulled up to a stop light with all of the boys screaming at each other, and the old lady next to us was laughing hysterically. Maybe it reminded her of raising all boys and having no air conditioning, and thanking her lucky stars she only had to go through that for a time. Or maybe she was thinking about how she misses those times, and she can laugh about how crazy it was back then. That's gonna be me, except I'll have a permanent twitch in my right eyelid. Anyhow, if we happen to be in the car from now until Aug. it will be on our way to somewhere fun, with water, and possibly sand. So, that should make it better, right? I sure hope to God it does.
