One more day of kid-less freedom! The suspense is overwhelming! Summer break starts tomorrow at 4:10 p.m., and as usual, I am not mentally prepared at all! Since the wranglers are firmly anchored in the “bad-attitude orbit,” I can almost predict how summer will go.
These two kids are already beginning to look like and act like wolverines when they’re together for more than 60 minutes. They start scampering around the house scratching and growling like someone just rescued them from the wild. And it all starts tomorrow!
OK, I’ll admit it’s kinda fun for the first week or so. Sleeping in, sitting on the deck in P.J.’s, not having to scream, “Here comes the bus, get your a** out of bed, now!”
Then they start the summertime mantra, “Moommmmm, I’m bored!” At that point, I would rather be floating in outer space, orbitless, than listen to their screeches over and over. It’s inevitable, they are tweens! Too young to roam, too old for play-doh, and too smart for Mom’s tricks!

So, wish me luck, and good luck to all the other Moms out there who have wild wranglers to deal with over the Summer. Join me in outer space if you like, I hear the martinis are great!
