It’s the first official day of Spring Break for my kids. This is the time where I get them to clean the living hell out of the house and their rooms. It’s also the time when I get the boys in the backyard to weed.
Dan came over to drop off the girls after karate. Knowing he had a date this weekend I offered up a deal.
“If you fix he faucet in the front yard, I’ll give you a hair cut.”
Deal made. I cut his hair and he went off to Home Depot.
Shaun was in the back yard weed eating and Tyler was pulling down the vines that have taken over our front yard.
I had Kara cleaning the kitchen and the little ones folding laundry.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, the spring in my step is a plenty!! I walked around with a bottle of bleach and cleaned the hell out of every surface we own. I would have sang a chirpy little tune if I knew the birds would fly in and sing with me.
Now, with the house clean and all the chores done it’s time to start farming out the kids.
I am waiting for the first ‘Mom, can I go to blah-blah-blah’s house?”
I will say, “OF COURSE YOU CAN! PACK A BAG AND STAY A COUPLE OF DAYS!”

Good for you!
I’ve decided to take vacation on spring break even though I don’t have any kids. You should come to my house! We could party!
Holy hell, you just gave me a reason to have a brood of kids.
I never even thought of the cleaning chores I could dole out.
Oh, first I have to birth them, feed them, diaper them, clean up vomit and listen to screaming?
FUCK.
Nevermind.
Melanie Marie: You had me at Party!
SFG: Yeah, it’s not worth the pain. I would have less to do if I didn’t have a bunch of brats hanging around.
:)
My kids have no school this next week too. We haven’t attacked the house yet though, as I’m just now up and around. I’m afraid of issuing too many orders without being near for fear of things not being done “my” way ;-)
Good luck gettin’ rid of them!
Arlene: you need to take a couple of mine.
Thats a plus for having lots of kids, Why do you think i had so many../ Thats whats called togetherness… Love You.

Don’t forget to beat them. It’s Sunday.
I love opening up the windows and airing out the house.
But the pollen here is so bad right now!! I have a bright yellow dusty coating all over the lawn furniture outside. But it is spring, and it nice weather.
Have a great spring break!
happy sunday
You cleaned with BLEACH.
RSG is gonna heart this.
LOL.
Spring Break huh?
Isn’t that hard with 5 kids + 1 lil one?
Sounds like you have the perfect plan. Work them, get the house clean, then they leave.
Mine loves to work but usually his work causes me more work of my own.
