Oh the memories! Seeing the kids get so excited about only having 4 weeks of school left remind me of the glorious days of summer that I would look so forward to as a kid! The end of the year parties, doing something special for my teacher, getting phone numbers for all my friends, signing yearbooks and t-shirts, taking lots of pictures, promises to call and hang out often (which usually didn't happen) and the beautiful days outside. I never understood why my mom wasn't as excited as we were. Now I know!!! The endless "I'm bored" is enough drive anyone crazy. This year my friend gave me a great idea. We are instituting the "bored jar". I hope it works because I really have a hard time with the phrase "I'm bored". I didn't get the chance to be bored as a kid working on the farm and in the house, heck I was in charge of a hoeing crew at the age of 10, so the phrase "I'm bored" doesn't work with me. So hopefully the "bored jar" will work and we can have a fun, happy summer!
