Tomorrow begins week two of no kiddie school. Why not Monday? Cause Mama got smart and went to the grandparent’s to entertain us.
When Mama decided to stay home with the kiddies, I thought that would entail easy days of cleaning, parenting, and shopping with the kiddos. Mama learned REAAAALLLY quickly, it ain’t that easy. Mama gets bored REALLY easily. Who knew?
After 3 long months of kiddies all by my lonesome, I started an internet business out of sheer dumb luck, so that borne something for me to do during nap time.
Fast-forward 18 months, and Mama is OVERLOADED by my website and all that goes with it. No complaints here (other than the slow-down in business thanks to the Bush admin - fuckers). Since the start of the biz and Anna’s need for social interaction, the kiddies have been in a part-time daycare.
Mama likes when my girls are in part-time daycare. Mama loves my girls, but I need a break for Jeebus sake.
But the kiddies part-time daycare decided to take a 2-week break for summer.
Oh, Mama.
What am I to do with these two toddlers? One is 2 1/2 and one is almost 4. What the crap will I do with them for the next 4 days with little cashola?
Any ideas?
Any offers??
Any takers???
4 full days? Your own kids?
A blasted outrage, so it is….

I get like that too when my girls are home from school!!!
Does one of your theaters have free movies on Tues. & Wed.??? That is a life saver for me!!!
Good Luck!
Put them on a plane to Birmingham for a fun filled week with Aunt Chrissy! Or better yet, put Aunt Chrissy on a plane for fun in Orlando with the girls!
Or make new videos of them to upload for all the family *ahem* me to enjoy.
If you don’t like those ideas, feed them benadryl, they will sleep like rocks. Just kidding.
I’m over in Weeki Wachee with a 4yo and a 6yo, both girls-I’m down for a playdate sometime, but it’d have to be Friday evening or Saturday cuz I am a broke b*tch until payday, ha!

2 weeks! The folks at the school must not have kids ☺ Good luck; I can offer nothing but sympathy.
You could try the box again…

Man, I was going to suggest the box and see someone else already thought about it.. hate when that happens..
Kim’s last blog post..Things that make you go awwww..
Yep, box sounds like a good idea. Just leave them on the curb- you know someone will pick them up.
The park one day, Wal-Mart or Target another day (just for window shopping), The Mall (where all the kids hang out at those play places inside them), and….
I don’t know. I’m fresh out of free ideas.

How about another box?
When my kids were that age I used to let them paint each other with tempera paints (in the bathroom, of course) and then wash it off in the shower. I also let them wash their hair in the sprinkler once.

I will trade my teenage acting 8 year old. Thank you can handle her?
justmylife’s last blog post..Do you like it?
Two ideas for ya: take ‘em to the library or to the airport. They’ll think its cool to watch planes take off and without the stress of actually having to travel somewhere you can make getting a Sprite out of the soda machine out to be a special treat…
Good luck!

Good idea, Colleen! I know the airport in Tampa has that monorail thing that goes around the parking lot. I took my kids there one day and we ate lunch on that thing, just riding around and people watching. It cost me under $5 (for short term parking) to do something unique and fun with the kids.

No complainin’ kiddo - I offered to KEEP them for as long as you needed! But NOOO, you couldn’t be away from them!!!
You know you love every minute with them! Love you…
Teach them how to cook dinner. It’s fun for them and hey - it’s dinner for you!
