Bored!

Wow!  First week of summer break and the kids are driving each other nutsoooo and me,  too.  We had a lesson on being good friends  for FHE and how it supposed to start at home and all that good stuff.    Well, the wiring inside their coconut shells apparently went to dysfunction mode that evening from the BONKERS game we did after the lesson.  Because the next day it was forgotten!

Anyway,  I think  they are still "high" from all the activities  at the last week of school. {waterpark, parties, sleepovers and a lot of beach}.   They were constantly craving  for fun.  I know, who doesn't?  Get this,  we've had three sleepovers within 5 days and so they've been staying up late and sleeping in late as well.  By the time they wake up, the day is over!  They eat and then they want to go to the beach and play some more.   "Can we go and jump on Aunty Plain Jane's  trampoline? " "Can so and so come over?"  Man, what's up with these kids now-a-days?  Boredom seem to quickly creep in their system.  Whatever happened to just staying home and doing some work and learning to play with one another?  Oh, excuse me?   Who will do our chores for us?  We don't have a maid or cook!  Do I really want to clean the house?  Of course not but it needs to be done.

So, yesterday was another day.  Sparing you all the details, the Gooey Goos were being annoying.  Fingertips scratching that black board kind of annoying to each other.  Cube that.  Blood pressure boiling hot.  Steam forcing its way out of my nostrils and ears.  I finally had it. Got my magic wand.  Worked its magic.  Then peace and quiet followed.  NO TV.  NO DS.  NO COMPUTER.  NO PLAYSTATION.  NO PLAY!  NOTHING FUN!   {i can be mean}

Well, that was yesterday.  Today is another day and I'm sure enjoying the peace quiet.  Baking 10 loaves of bread  (as I am typing right now) 8 for YW Camp pot-luck dinner tonight and 2 for us. Meanwhile the Gooey Goos are quietly doing their math,  reading and writing in their journals.  Oh, happy day!
