LOL... my daughter does most of these.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one. Why is it that on school days, it takes 40 minutes to eat a few mini pancakes, but on non-school days, the same number can be downed in six minutes flat? I am so ready for vacation.
ReplyDeleteLOL do we have the same children ???
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for summer either..
This is a benefit of homeschooling....but regardless only Boo Bear tries to sleep in, the boys are both up by 6 always. I wish they would sleep in some days.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT, hope you'll visit my 33rd TT...Fragments of Life at The Cafe.
Thanks for your comment on my TT. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're handling it all with a sense of humor. The only advice I give my kids is, "Get it all ready the night before, so you won't need to hunt for it in the morning." A couple are so organized they don't need the reminder. They help ME get more organized!
Nice to see what I have to look forward to! By the way, I like your hair cut...

My daughter is homeschooled and she does the same kinds of things to avoid "starting" her school...funny how kids are, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteOh man. I'm so embarrassed I'm guilty of half of these and I'm not a kid :/ Mornings kill me!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until summer too!
I'm the procrastinator in the mornings! I wish the day wouldn't start until at least 9:30! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteSounds like almost every household in America, I bet. I love the flower in your header. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood one! I, as grandma nanny, am not looking forward to school getting out!
ReplyDeleteRe your last post - the church has a bad habit of shooting the wounded!
