It Is Almost Time For School To Start

Yes, parents everywhere are anxiously awaiting the start of school. The summer, if we are to call it that has been slightly different from what we are used to. It has been a rainy season that has proven that Mother Nature can have devastating affects on lives. Although today is partly sunny, it has not been the best summer for kids. They have been cooped up in the house quite a bit.

Time for school to start. Parents are visiting stores and buying school supplies and that all favorite, school clothes. Shopping with kids for clothes is never as fun as it seems. This is especially true for little ones. They seem to hate trying on clothes and they really hate new clothes. They have their favorites and that is what they want to wear.

Teens are a different story. Mom and dad never know what the fashions are it seems. There are always conflicts and sometimes that conflict lasts until school starts. Mom and dad, you have to get with the style. Many of the styles out there for kids are the ones we were in the eighties. It would have been nice if we could have kept all our clothes for such occasions. It sure would save money.

Now that school is nearing, what are you going to do with some spare time? Are you going to take a few days off of work and just pamper yourself and breathe normally for the first time in months?

Kids are great, but sometimes you just can't wait for them to go back to school.

How Is The Summer Going With Kids At Home

Well, everyone has had a week or two of having the kid's home from school. How are you all feathering? Are they driving you nuts already? You only have a couple more months to go. Yes, kids can be a handful, especially if you are so used to them being in school during the day. Look at the bright side, the teachers have them for more months than you do and they needed a break.

Kids can fine thing to do or get into. Their creative side usually takes over during the summer months. You see broken bones, scrape and bruise more. Climbing trees and building bike ramps to jump are just kids being kids. They seem to look for ways to give parents gray hair. As they grow older, we sometimes relate the stories of their childhood adventures to them. They laugh, but they are just scared because they are going to be parents some day as well.

Kids are always trying to try the patients of their parents. Most do not do this on purpose, but do it without even knowing. You have to love them no matter what. Don't worry, school will start in a couple of months and things will get back to normal and be quiet again. Take this time to study their moves and see just how much they are like you when you were their age. I bet you will see a little part of you or the other parent in everything the child does.

Have a great day and enjoy your kids while they are young. They grow so fast. Sometimes not fast enough for some of us.
