WFMW--Mom, I'm Bored

Those dreaded words: MOM,I'M BORED!!! About this time every year, I am on the countdown to the end of school, almost as much, or more than my kids are. Then two hours into Summer Vacation those dreaded words are spoken.

That is why it is important to have a 'backup' plan. Here are some ideas that I have to keep my kids 'entertained' this summer.


1. Chores: scrub the floor, clean the fridge, wash the trash cans....you know, all those yucky, icky chores that you don't want to do yourself. SO MUCH FUN for the kids---hee hee hee!

2. Read: No, not Twilight. Shakespeare, baby!

3. School work: Yep, I plan to scour the internet, library, bookstore, etc. for some books to help the kids keep those skills they learned through the school year.

4. Take a nap:: When all else fails, this one is pulled out. This is terrible torture to my children! BWAAAAAHAAA!

So, after a couple days of doing dreaded chores, schoolwork, and naps I usually stop hearing "Mom, I'm bored!"

Now, if I could just figure out how to stop the "Mom, I'm hungry!" nagging!!
