Pulling my hair out

I have officially had it! The kids are driving me CRAZY! They have been out of school for the last week for spring break. It has rained here for the last two days so they can't even go outside at all. I have told them at least 1,000 times to please quiet it down. (ok maybe only 750 times) But they are to the point when I tell them to quiet down I get some sort of cutsie answer. I don't want cute I want quiet. I will be so glad to send them off to school tomorrow. I really think that if they would admit it too that they are ready to go back to school as much as we are ready to send them back. I am just getting too old to put up with them on a 24 hour basis like this anymore. I know you all thought I was only about 29 but I am actually just a teenie bit older than that. Not much mind you but just a bit older. We have been going through things here today trying to sort things out for a yard sale next week and trying to pack things up that I want to keep and move with us. I think I am done for the night today. I still have one box I need to tape up and find a place to put it then I am going to sack out after dinner and a shower and watch a DVD. I borrowed one from Joy it is called 16 Blocks. It really looks like it is going to be pretty good so hope it is.

Day Trip

Today we all loaded up and went to Tarpon Springs for a day trip while the kids are on Spring Break. The picture is of sponges that are for sale there. We all had a really good day. The kids were actually pretty good. Some times I actually wondered what had happened to my real grandchildren and who the children were that we had with us. OK a couple of times they acted up but all in all they were pretty well behaved. We had a great lunch at one of the Greek restaurants and then walked through tons of shops and before heading back to the van we all got sweets from one of the bake shops. I had baklava which was to die for. Then we took the kids to Clearwater beach for a little bit. They played in the edge of the water cause they didn't have swimming suits with them but they had a great time in spite of not being able to really get into the ocean. I don't think their mother could have handled the stress if they did get in the water. She was about to spaz out with them just in to their ankles. Well the boys did try to get in further. They wound up with their shorts pretty wet. Then we drove home and everyone just sort of wondered off to their various rooms to crash for the rest of the day.

Going Going Going Gone... Crazy

The grandchildren are officially on Spring Break. We let them stay home from school today as they were going to do nothing in school today except party. So what is the use to get them up at 6:00 AM in the morning just to go to school to eat school food for lunch and put up with riding the bus for over 2 hours each way. That is the good news. The bad news is that they will now be in the house with us 24-7 for the next 10 - count them.... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 days. I think I am going to go crazy now and just get it over with. This is day one of the said 10 days and they have already fought with each other and now they are saying they are bored. I mean come on it is only 12:15 PM lunch time and they are bored. We still have 9 1/2 days to go. I think their Mom is going to try to take them someplace fun next week so they can have some fun and that will be the day that I probably stay in bed all day hiding from the world.
