With summer fast approaching we are all ready for a little relaxation - that includes ME.

I love having you all to myself during the summer months but this summer, I am not signing up for the four C’s - chauffeur, cook, cleaning lady, and cruise director.

Please understand that if we all pitch in, summer will be a lot more fun.

Don’t complain if I don’t allow all four of you to have friends over all day, every day. I know - we may not be busy, but my energy is limited and so is my patience.
Don’t sulk if I don’t drive you everywhere you want to go, whenever you want to go. Same reason.

Enjoy this time with your siblings and, yes, your mother. You don’t realize how fleeting this carefree time together is.

And, above all, remember that a happy mommy is the key to the best summer ever!

Love,
Mom
