...till the kids head back to school. Technically it's 18 days and 23 hours and 15 minutes but I'm too spent to count the seconds.
My summers start off with the best intentions. We were going to get out and explore the city. Get really physical. Stay away from the from the TV. Typical of every year.
So now it's the third week of August and wonder what stops me. Well first the kids want to sleep. There is only so much force you can apply to a 250lb 6'3" teenager. The attitude flaming off my hormonal daughter is even worse. Then to keep them occupied I find I'm running one here to friends, having another one's friends over.
Then I do have work to do. Both at home and at my business so I always feel like I'm playing catch up. There's additional work in cleaning up after four kids. No one is on the same eating schedule so family suppers are on hold until September.
My bike was stolen a couple of weeks ago so I've become dependent on my car again.
So now the challenge is to get some quality time into the last two weeks without killing my kids.
