Summer is here

It's official, summer is happening! Am I happy about this? Kind of, kind of not? It up in the air yet, it's early.  What I do know is this is the time of year, where all parents are judged and are judging.  Who's kid is left home alone? who's 15 yr old still has a babysitter? Can you believe she let her daughter wear those shorts? Can you believe she had matching ones?
      While I thoroughly enjoy spending the time with my kids (most of it anyway) I'm also very over whelmed by all the things that we have to do and just don't have the energy to deal with judging, so here it goes!
      My boys are 9 and 4, No they will not be riding bikes around town alone just yet, and it's not because I'm overprotective it's because drivers are distracted and my kids are too...bad combination and one broken leg a year is my limit. Yes I know my 4 yr old is standing there talking to a complete stranger about his newest game, at least he's leaving me alone for a few min. No I have no reservations about him not being at my side every second. Yes my oldest is a ton of sports, and I am well aware that he still has a limp and is not 100% after his broken leg.  No I will not take him out of said sports to humor you that your all star kid will not make the pros because his 3rd grade class didn't win the last tournement because of my son.  Oh yeah, your kid is not that good! Non of them are, there are no pro scouts sitting in the bleachers, so relax and let them have fun, let them pick flowers in the outfield and let them yell from 3rd base that they really have to pee!
    As far as me, I will dress how I feel like dressing, yes it will most likely be an old stained t-shirt and a pair of Capri pants, and I don't care if they aren't the current style. I also don't care that my tummy isn't flat, I won't be joining your fitness team, taking your pills, wearing your patch, or drinking your shake either. I will however be poolside, in my fat lady swim suit, watching my gimpy 9 yr old, and crazy 4 yr old and hoping they don't drown, because I'm comfortable and don't want to get up, all while not judging everyone that walks by.

Enjoy your summer
