Au revoir... and OUT!

Phew! It's finally over.

Please excuse the blurry photo. It's really hard to stay in focus when you barely slow down enough to let the kid out of the car.

Now get the hell out. I have to recover: Summer vacation starts in nine weeks.

******************************************************

The folks over at humor-blogs know better than to enroll their children in schools with different vacation schedules.

Nine weeks till summer vacation! You're kidding me. Please tell me that you're kidding me. Please? No? I need to go take a nap.

That's no excuse. It should not be blurry :)

Cathy said...

Peggy said...

I'm glad I'm not the only mommy that slows down to 5mph, fligs the door open, and yells "1...2...3... JUMP!" on the first day back to school!

Gosh - feel the love!

Barb said...

Our spring break is next week. I think I would rather have my kids once at a time than have them both together, fighting, fighting, fighting...

Just found out my husband business trip moved. He'll be gone the whole week of April vacation. Pray for me. Pray for the kids.

Wow. I bet Girl loved that you took her picture as you dropped her off for school. At least you didn't get out of the car or anything. That would have been totally embarrassing. On second though, maybe you should have done just that! I'm sure she deserves it.

What do you mean nine weeks until summer vacation? What kind of a person says something like that? Need...smelling salts..

Aaah - we have 7 and a half weeks until 3 weeks of winter holiday - and daylight saving finishes on Saturday - so it's really only - um - 8 and a half months until summer vacation - but its only a bit over a week until the Easter break - of 10 days! Mwah!

Rose Red said...

How many bags does she have? Is she staying the night there or something??!!

Bells said...

Spring vaca-SHUT UP ALREADY!! has lasted an extra 2 weeks up here in Fargo with the flooding, and might I add that I peed a little when we found out school was "OFFICIALLY" starting again on Monday.

Polymer Clay Snails said...

Hilarious!! I've only got a 4y/o but I'm writing this one down in the "When he's older" book ... So! How did you master the whole "slowing down the car" thing?

Mrs. R said...

Congratulations on surviving. Those of us who work with teenagers professionally are counting down to summer break as well, although for an entirely different reason...

Jejune said...

What can I say? ROFL, as ever :)
I think daughter can be grateful she didn't have to duck and roll from a moving vehicle ;)

I prescribe a daily dose of alcohol to prepare for the summer tortur... I mean ... HOLIDAY ahead. You know it makes sense.

Donna Lee said...

One day, you'll look back on this and laugh.....

I can say that since every day is vacation day around here since all the kids are out of school. Just one big ol' party. every day.
