schools out . . .

Today was the last day of school! Yeah! I mean . . . Nooooooo! I'm so confused . . . I like knowing that I don't have to wake up at any paticular time and the kids don't have to go to bed as early as they do now BUT I will be with all of my children at the same time, all of the time. The house will be even messier and I'll have to cook more often. I have three boys all close to each other in age. The fights are non-stop. They fight about everything, who has control of the remote, the computer, the play station, you name it they fight about it. I've planned some things for the summer so they are kept semi busy and don't get too bored but I don't want to be on the go all the time - I like to relax. I'm one of those moms.
You will never see me primped and proper with three clean angelic boys in tow. No . . . I'm the mom in the t-shirt with shades and sandals yelling at the dirty little monsters to pay attention and listen or we'll have to visit the *bathroom*. lol My children aren't monsters but they are always dirty and they are very ornery. I do have a bad tendency to yell though. I hate it but I blame my hormones and also that my husband taught, by example, how easily it is to ignore me and the kids have picked up that habit beautifully. lol The *bathroom* is code for *you're going to get your bum whipped*. I remember being in a restaurant and Saige was around 3 and he was having a terrible fit. We used the code and he screamed as loud as he could, "Don't take me to the bafroom, no mommy, no, not the bafroom!" Asher on the other hand can't grasp the code. His response is, "I don't have to pee mommy!" So you bend down to remind him what the *bathroom* code actually means and you can see the light go on in his head. I have him by the arm walking towards the restrooms and he has his free arm blocking his bum screaming,"Don't pank me mommy don't pank me." He has no respect for the code. lol Wil on the other hand is very emotional and he doesn't need that type of discipline that often. Not to mention could you see Bryan and I in a public place taking a disabled child in a wheelchair to the *bathroom*? Wil crying,"Don't spank me mommy, don't spank me!" LOL Yeah, I'd get locked up! LOL I hope this summer will prove to be fun and not a job of referee. I might have to find a black and white striped shirt to wear! lol
