Chickadee: Mama, how many days until vacation?
Me: Well, let’s see. You go to school the rest of this week, and then next week. Then you’re off for a week.
Chickadee: How many days is that?
Me: Hmmm… 9 days until no more school.
Chickadee: And then it’ll be SUMMER! YAY!
Me: Uhhhh… no. It’s winter break, honey.
Chickadee: Aww, man!

    Summer! Yay!

    OMG, I was so excited when I read that. And then, oof. Blow to the senses.

    Can you tell I’ve been housebound with three sick kids and the flu myself? Bleh.

    Ha! I don’t think any parents out there are ready for summer vacation yet!

    And to think…I’m totally looking forward to just a 3 day weekend!

    Kids are so hard to please nowadays ;)

    My son suggests we go swimming all the time.

    At the outdoor pool.

    “No, they are closed.”

    “Why?”

    “Because it’s winter.”

    We have this talk just about every day.
