What vacation???

As a stay-at-home mom, most people think I am on vacation all the time.
This? Is so very not true! This week is Spring Break at my son's school. Many of his classmates have been at my house this week....I have had one stay the night ALL WEEK, two come over for play dates EACH DAY, and my nieces (two of em) have been here all week also. In addition to that a friend asked me to watch his two-year old for a few weeks while his daycare provider bonded with her newborn. So, at last count, I have had 5-6 kids in my house from 7:30 am til 5:20 pm for THREE. DAYS. This also means I have been up at the ass-crack of dawn everyday too! Cause WHY on earth would two 8 year-olds sleep in on THEIR vacation. Monday is gonna be a kick in our house cause for the first time in 9 days I will hear the words: "but mom, can I just sleep for 5 more minutes before I get up to go to school?".....yeesh! Also, I will be getting up at 6am three days a week til school gets out cause another friend works early and I take her two kids to school for her. I don't mind, because once all the kids are at school, I will have the chance to nap...which I haven't done since watching the two year old a month ago *grins*.....it's a good thing that you never forget how to do some things huh?

So my vacation is technically every weekday that my son is at school from about 10am til noon....unless I am driving for a field trip, reading in class, helping with a class project, doing fundraising stuff, etc., etc.

GAWD! I really DO love being a stay-at-home mom! I only hope the boy-child doesn't hate me by the time he is in High School....not many people get to spend so much time with their kids.

So, napping when I have the time REALLY IS MY VACATION my friends, it really IS!
