The Monontony of the Never-Ending Summer

Wake up to bickering children, followed by the wail of the Diva, since the monsters woke her up to. Upon getting up hear whining and crying on two fronts from the Monsters... usually consisting of a combination of He hit me.. ect and I'm Humbry (that is how the 3yr old says hungry).  I am followed to the bathroom hearing it, then to the Diva's room. Put Diva in the Highchair, convince the oldest one to spoon feed her cereal, while attempting to get the Monsters breakfast down. The Middle Monster, then changes his mind 3 times about which cereal he'd rather eat and whether or not he'd like milk. FINALLY, baby fed, monsters fed.... time for a break right???

Then it really starts.. MOM, I wanna go to the splash park, I wanna play outside, I wanna wanna wanna. I look at the clock.. its still prior to 8 am. SIGH. I force them to their room to watch cartoons and play for awhile. Honestly its just variations of this all day. Quit fighting, Share, Stop Running, Don't Don't DON'T.

this is how our day has started EVERYDAY since school let out.. When will the school year arrive to rescue me? sad thing is that the Monsters will both be in preschool, but only for 1/2 a day.. but hey that's something right?

I had such high hopes for Summer.. Educational but fun activities for the kids.. a Home-Summer School program.. I don't know WHY I was deluding myself... Apparently those idyllic summers only exist in childhood. It makes me wish for the beach, and a LARGE margharita. Ah well.. maybe tomorrow will be different?? one can hope right?

So what are everyone's plans for Father's Day? I think we are sticking close to home, going to the community fair, maybe sending Daddy and the Monsters somewhere so me and the Diva don't have to leave the comfort of AC. Its supposed to be a hot weekend.
