School could not start soon enough

I am not one of those mothers who dreads school starting. In fact, if the school called today and said "send your kids over asap" They would be there in 30 seconds or less. They are bored out of their minds. And they are making me crazy. I can not tell you how many times I have heard the question ..."what are we doing next??" or the statement " I have nothing to do, I am bored."It is the end of the summer and they have run out of ideas. When they ask me what to do --- I say what my mom said to me...GO CLEAN SOMETHING. That isn't even working. Katie moaned LOUDLY throughout her chores today. I guess she wanted to let me know her displeasure with the whole thing.

The good news is that we will be getting in the car for five hours with these "BORED" children and driving to Memphis for my brothers wedding. Let's just hope that they sleep.

Do you remember your end of summer? How did you entertain yourself??

My sentiments exactly. Not that I want to get rid of my kids, just looking for a break from a done everything but still bored 5 year old.
