Summertime

I think because I grew up with my mom (who was a teacher) having summer's off, I have this unrealistic view of myself that I  "shouldn't have to work in the summer."  I grew up with my mom spending lazy summer days cooking us breakfast, taking us to the public library, to movies, shopping, to the lake and to the pool and I somehow feel like that is what I should still be doing when school is out. Crazy huh? lol 

Anyway, I am having a hard time keeping myself at work today, as we are spending the weekend at the lake.  It is 85 degrees with not a cloud in the sky.  Why should I be having to actually WORK today when I could be at the lake, on a raft next to the boat, watching my husband fish, radio playing, ice cold drink in hand??    ;)

Both my parents were teachers when I was growing up too. I have the same memories...it was great! I have been a stay at home Mom for the past 10 years and am now looking into gettin back into the work force.  I have decided I want a job at a school so I can still have summers off!  LOL

that is why I love being a lunch lady at the high school. I do have those days off and I tell you since I have been working at the school for 4 years now. I don't ever want to work summers again.  So, I totally understand where you are coming from.

I don't think I should have to work even when it's cold cuz of course then I should be in bed with the electric blanket on!!!  Not that I am lazy or anything!  Linda

I had Thursday and Friday off this week and it was heavenly.  I spent most of it laying by the pool.  I do not know how I am going to go back to work on Monday.:)
