My children and I spent the day with two of my friends and their children at 'Marineland' today.
I drove us all there, we watched a walrus/dolphin show, went on rides, ate a horrendously expensive lunch, went on more rides and then I drove us all back home so we could get my son to soccer on time.
Eldest daughter came home with a headache and went straight to bed.
Youngest daughter had a swim and is now half asleep on the sofa with the TV on.
I have sore shins from walking all day but I am still going strong. I am making dinner, tidying up, picking up from soccer and doing laundry.
So, score one for the old lady of the house, she's outlasting the younger generation in stamina tonight!
I gotta tell you though, it was a long day. I will sleep well tonight.
This summer vacation stuff is not for wimps. How many days until school starts again?
I'm Leanne and I'm a tired mama. I work, I parent, I juggle and I don't seem to get enough sleep. Welcome to the place where I rant about all these things...
The silver lining. You tuckered them out. And a good kid is a tired kid, right? :)

Sounds like a great day! (We have 69 days until school starts!)

It's always a victory when Mom can outlast the troops. Well done!

Every time I am out and I see a mom with a bunch of older kids-the mom laughs and says to me-when does school start again> LOL.
