Last Day Of School

Today was the last day of school and now the start of summer vacation! Now the sound of I'm bored!! They can't wait for school to be out yet they always complain that they are bored. I keep telling them they should be grateful they have this time off because once they are grown up out on there own they will be working and they will be wishing that they were back in school and having summer vacation. I think it is true about all of us when we are young and growning up we never relize how easy we had it. Having a roof, clothes, food and all the little things that once you are out on your own and have to buy yourself you don't take it for granted. I know when I was growing up I couldn't wait until I graduated. It seems you wish your life away when you are young and don't really get when your parents tell you not to wish your life away. I know I did and once I had children of my own and I have watched them grow up I just can't believe how fast the time goes by. Even though I keep telling them not to wish the time away they won't get it until they are out on their own having to work and making a living for themselves and than they will say I wish I was back in school life was so much easier than. I know my oldest is feeling that now having to do things for himself. It is really hard now days especially. Sometimes when you are young you have all these big plans, but once you are out in the "real" world they plans might not work out the way you thought they might. So I hope my children enjoy their summer and hopefully I won't hear how bored they are too much, I just want them to enjoy their childhood because it sure goes by way to fast!
