EXCITED AND TERRIFIED

I'm a great artist!

As I write this, my children are in bed and maybe asleep (bedtime is never easy) and
I'm having mixed feelings about summer break. I'm excited that they'll be out of school as of tomorrow afternoon. I get to sleep in some days, stay up late to work, and maybe we can get out of the house. On the other hand, it's more than likely going to be a bunch of whining about being bored and fighting with each other.

I don't know what it is about my children that they are never satisfied with what they have. In some cases maybe it's a good thing. It isn't at home, though, because it creates an atmosphere of miserableness and not wanting to be around each other. I know the little ones don't like to be stuck at home. Neither did I as a young one. Any and every free or low cost after school activity I could get into I did so. A few I even loved being a part of.

Now, I'm content to be cooped up in the house trying to work. I enjoy the WAH opportunities I've found. I just haven't learned as much about them as I'd like to. With summer here and the children home I'm thinking to myself... Am I really going to get anything done? The children will want my attention. They act incapable of keeping themselves busy even though I know they can and have plenty to do it with. We shall see!
