summer going too fast

[mama2one]

this summer has gone too fast
not ready to give my child back to school


anyone else feel as I do?

 

[mama2one]

guessing most parents can't wait for school to start

I like having my kids home, but they need more structure that we're having a hard time fulfilling. My son has never done well with summers and would likely do better with a year round school. My daughter doesn't like school much.

We did three vacation bible schools in our area, which helped a lot for my daughter. My son on the other hand only liked the first two. The last was boring since they did the same craft everyday all week, and there was a bully bothering majority of the kids.

I worked five 11-12 hour days (with small commute added in), and my wife has MS, which makes it hard for her to entertain the kids and care for them. She gets tired easy and needs rest. So the kids going back to school is a huge blessing for the kids and my wife.

No school aged kids here anymore. I always dreaded the back to school stuff, too. Yep, summer always goes by the fastest.

I usually dread it, but this year I've been too busy to get emotional about it. When I have a day off work during the week, I always miss the boys and wish they were home with me. I feel that we get too tired to keep going five days a week every week for most of the months out of a year, especially during cold and flu season. I wish there were more breaks, and would be willing to give up part of the summer for more breaks during the school year.

My son is excited about school starting, but he really loves his school and didn't want the last school year to end. He is very into art, and has signed up for as much art as they would allow him to.

In the past I have hated dealing with the school system because of my sons' struggles, but things are so different now. In the previous years, I would look for ways to homeschool or do online public school just in case I needed to yank them out. I came close several times. If last year hadn't gone well for my youngest, he would not be going this year because I had plans to keep him home for the remainder of his education if it didn't.

I'm in college & I still love shopping for back to school supplies, lol. My favourite part was seeing friends of course but my 2nd fav was def. the shopping!!!

Did she get new clothes too? I always liked that. It would be hot still but we'd go ahead & get the coats & stuff we were gonna need when it got cold.

I miss being little now. I still love starting back at college & seeing friends but it's def not the same as it used to be. How old is your daughter?

I have been so busy and overwhelmed by the daily gruel of life, that I feel like I missed the summer. Writing a Christmas story for most of the summer didn't help. Now that school has started and people are starting to get excited about fall, I'm ready for summer to begin! LOL

Summer already feels very distant.
