It's Summer (for some of us)!

The girls enjoyed their first full day of summer vacation today.

I got to get up at the regular time and get ready for work.

By the time I was ready to leave, the whole family was already awake (NOT my fault... I'm blaming the dogs).

As I was heading out the door, Alexia's voice of curiosity calls out from upstairs:

A: "Where are you going?"

E: "I'm going to work."

A: (In a tone that mixes curiosity, confusion, disgust and disbelief) "You have to work in the summer?"

E: (dejectedly) "Yep."

A: [Silence as she presumably goes deep into thought, pondering this horrific possibility]



Rumor has it that the girls did a lot of cleaning up around the house and they even rearranged Alexia's bedroom furniture.

Tonight Alexia is at a slumber party and Mikayla has Paige over here for the night.

So... it feels a lot like a Friday night... but it's not.

Bummer for me.
