Summer Tips

83 degrees and school is out - summer is officially here! And so begins the arguing, whining and "I'm bored" from the big kids. City pools open tomorrow and I plan on getting passes today so I can send them off every day when the temp is above 70. I hope to make there myself much more often than last year, but will only be able to when I don't have daycare kids.

I thought this would be a good time to share a few summer tips, so here it goes.

1. If you complained about how cold it was all winter, don't let me hear you crying about the heat. It's summer, it's hot, it's the same every year.
2. If you have to buy size large or bigger, you have no business wearing a bikini to the pool. Sure, it makes me feel better about how I look, but we still don't want to see it! You know better.
3. Short shorts are for teenagers, not moms.
4. Don't send your kids to their friends house everyday near lunch time in hopes they'll be fed. I have enough kids to take care of as it is.
5. Go buy sunblock. If you don't care about 1st or 2nd degree burns on yourself that's your prerogative. But even though your little kids look cute with a tan, it's really not worth the risk, is it?

If you have any more tips, please share! Enjoy your summer!
