I'm in the midst of post vacation let down. I've always been horrible at closure and transitions. I hate finality; of things ending. I've cried myself to sleep for the past 3 Christmas nights. When I was young I cried when my cousins went home after a stay at our house. And the first week of school I missed my mom and family so much it hurt. Just thinking of things ending fills me with sad nostalgia. Here I go, getting sad just writing about this.
After four weeks of sparse posting I've been desperate to find an interesting subject or incident to write about. But this post vacation let down has made for a rather dull week. So rather than wait for some excitement to come my way, I'm just going to completely bore you with some mundane trivialities.
1) Spouse is sure he (we) have Giardia or some other water-related parasite. I did a bit of research on the subject and decided that I'm unwilling to turn in a "stool sample" just to undergo the tortuous treatment needed to get rid of the parasite. I'll just have the Big D for 6 weeks thank you very much.
2) School starts August 4th. Well, one school does. For all those holding their breaths waiting for my final decision, keep holding on because I'm still undecided. Currently, we are enrolled in two schools and one online homeschool program. Tick tick tick, the countdown to my daughter's doom is imminent.
3) This week we've been enjoying the by-products of hanging out with cousins for a month. #2) It's not fair! #1) I can't stand it! #2) Neener neener neener. #1) Rubber butt! Me) SHUT UP!
4) How much TV/movies/wii can a child watch in a week before turning into a vegetable? This week we are out to set new records. 223 hours and counting and they are still breathing. Speaking of TV, So You Think You Can Dance is going to be starting soon (no DV-R in this house! we'll get cell phones first) - better cut this short.

Oh I am so sorry about your post vacation let down. Can't be easy to go back to "normal" after four weeks of vacation. Then again most of us are not lucky enough to EXPERIENCE a four week vacation :) Hang in there. So you think you can dance makes EVERYTHING better. Although next week I just might be posting about MY post-SYTYCD let down, and yes, I too may cry.
I know how you feel! We have talked about this many times, but I want to make sure you know that I got a HUGE laugh out of your blog, only because I have done the same exact thing this past week (mainly because I am dwelling on where I wish I was, instead of here:( ) Next week WILL be better and we can help eachother get out of this crappy situation of post vacation blues!
Always a let down after the vacay. It's a good thing to be home (naps are sort of easier), but I miss the chaos of vacation.
I, too, am struggling to find something to write about - nothing too hot going on around here.
I am glad that I am not the only one who does that. I have a hard time with major change too, you know? Everyone is supposed to stay the same... no moving, no growing older, no death, no goodbye's. I guess that's just life, but I am still with you on not wanting good times to ever end.
Love that show too... I am so tossed up over who I think should win. Nuff said until you watch it. You'd never have to say 'goodbye' if you owned a DVR... just hit REWIND as many times as you would like!! hehe... :)
I am experiencing the opposite: NO vacation let-down. I need one. Badly.
So, that STINKS about the K12 not having kindergarten. Have you checked into a national virutal academy? Or an AZ virtual academy through K12 that isn't connected to your school district? Bu-huh-huhmmer if you can't do it. I suppose if we do (which I think we will), I can let you know how it goes. I am several people's guinea pig already...hahaha.
I am loving what your kids picked up from their cousins. Hilarious. And I don't blame you on the stool sample. I can change poopy diapers all day, but sampling my OWN...uh, no, thank you!!
Good luck on your decision. You can always change it later.
