So, July is almost over. How are you coping with the kids?
Here is my answer to that….
I am going a little crazy and I think the kids are too. During the year I have my own routine, just like the kids, and to be honest I am having a hard time reworking that routine for the kids. I work late and so I am a little slow in the morning and that can be hard for the kids. They get up in the morning and are ready to get out there and do things but Mom just isn’t.
I need to get better about organizing things for the kids to do. I need to plan some field trips with them but frankly it is hard to do when I work until 12:15 am and don’t get home from work until 1 a.m.
Here is the other challenge – I am committed to not spending a fortune on this summer entertainment for the kids. I want to see if I can keep the spending to a minimum. So how do it stay motivated myself while keeping the kids entertained and occupied without breaking the bank?
How are all of you managing the summer with a house full of kids? What do you do with your kids to keep them busy?
