Fall Break

Fall break is just around the corner for us here in Arizona. One week off and it’s still over 100 degrees. Wow what the hell will I do with my son? All his friends are going to be flying out of state to go see their dads so he will have no friends to play with for a whole week. So that means momma will have to entertain him. However there is a slight problem, I work out of the home now. I can bring him with me but how fun would it be for a 7 almost 8 year old to spend his time in a house while momma cleans? Doesn’t sound like fun to me.

Anyway here is my thinking on this whole fall break thing….

When I was in school we didn’t have anything called fall break let alone a week off of school right after school started only 2 months prior. Do they really need a break already? I mean seriously they just went back to school 2 months ago.

So for the next 3 months these kids got it easy peasy. 1 week off for fall break. They have the Monday after off as well. Then he will go to school 2 full days and then have early release for parent teach conferences on Thursday and Friday.

November, he will be off one day for Veterans Day and then have a 4 day weekend for Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t throw in a couple half days just to piss me off =).

December, well they will have like 2 weeks off for Christmas break. Seriously do they need 2 damn weeks off to play with their new freaking toys? If I know my kid right after Christmas when we go to the damn store he will want us to buy him a new toy after we just spent hundreds of dollars on Christmas. Yep sounds about how ungrateful these kids are now days… well at least mine
