1st Day Of Summer Vacation

Just as the title says, today is the first day of summer vacation for the kids. Yikes! 24 hours of them? What's a mother to do? First of all, it was nice to sleep in. No waking up at 6:40 in the morning. There is also no homework today and no driving around. There is plenty of sibling bickering, lots of twiddeling thumbs and tons of looking at the clock to see much longer I have till it's their bed time. Sounds bad, I know. I have a feeling that the pool just outside our building is going to be my best friend this summer. Pray for me!
