disappointment

I think that I somehow lost the month of May! Has that ever happened to you? I look on my calendar and I see that it was there, I see that I marked off each day but I just don't remember it! I guess I was just so excited for June and the school year coming to an end...and now it has!

Yesterday was the last day of school and how excited we were...I know I was! I should have known when the kids got up and were grumpy as all get out that something was going to happen and that it might not be good! I had it all planned: I would pick the kids up from school with "School's Out for Summer" all q'd up and ready to play, we'd come home and hang out for a bit, have pizza for dinner while watching the first America's Got Talent of the season and then we were going to meet up with friends for ice cream! It all SOUNDED so good! Picked the kids up and so far, so good. We get home and everything just fell apart! The grumpiness from the morning just continued...we had attitude, we had fighting, we had tears, we had it all and this was NOT what I had signed up for! Needless to say, my dear husband's famous saying, "Disappointment is caused by unmet expectations" came true. I had expected the day to be wonderful and filled with excitement and we were all going to get along and we were gonna have fun and it was gonna be great! I expected too much, therefore, I was a little disappointed! We are gonna start over! We are gonna have to figure out how the boys are going to get along this summer, which may be difficult since we just put them in the same room (what was I thinking?!).

Anyway, it is a new day and it is the start of summer. I am most looking forward to the carefree days and evenings. The thing I love the most is not having to put dinner on the table at exactly 5 since Zachary has to go to bed at 7! I love the idea of not packing lunches everyday! I love sleeping in...even till 7! I love staying up late reading or watching movies. I love not having a schedule, for the most part! THAT is why I love the summer...I can do without the heat!! Give me 70 degree temps all summer and I'd be great!!

We have a 1st grader and a 5th grader!
