Is it just me or am i going mad??

Well yet again another 6 weeks off school, any mum like me knows the ups and downs of half terms, i thought that over a year ago they said that they would add more days onto the other half terms and therfore make this 6 week break shorter, maybe i am going mad, mind you i cant be any more than i am already, please let me know if any other mums heard this too,( not me being mad) hahaha, i have 4 kids, one is 19, she has a 16mth old son, and she had a baby girl on thursday 26th july,, so am a granny again at the grand old age of 39, well i have 3 other girls, one is 13 goin on 21, a 9 year old and a 3 year old, so the older two at home are now suffering being off, stuck at home all day with mum, or should i say me stuck with them moaning, argueing, haha, i cant be the only mum who knows what i am talking about, my oldest says to me, " so what are we doing today then"? i reply, washing, cooking, ironing, and , and and to which she replies, thats boring, lets go out,i say ok you give me the money to put in the petrol,buy the sweets that the kids want when i pull in there,you name it they have a answer, i often tell her i am not a butlins red coat entertainment employee, am sure thats what the kids think i am. well i could ramble for ever, so any ideas on how to keep me and the kids entertained please feel free to tell me,oh and please dont say bake cakes, i hate cakes, hahaha,
chow for now
From a mum at her wits end ..........

Oh and i forgot to mention that while the kids have six weeks off, surely they forget what they was learning before they broke up, how can a child remember all the work from 6 weeks ago, mind you im not much better, i just learn the new ways they teach them math etc, (not like in my day) and then i totally forget it, so when they return to school and come home, they expect me , yes me to remind them how it goes.. As if i havn't got enough things to remember . I am celebrating in sept though, my 3 and half yr old is starting nursery, she loves school, and im glad she loves school, haha, only joking, anyone reading this prob thinks i want the kids at school 24-7, but hey am only joking, i do enjoy my time with them, when they are gettin on together, being nice, talking sweetly, playing happily, even if it only happens one day a week ill be happy.. best bit is i get to have a lay in now, no more school runs, not sure whats worse , us mums gettin out of the routine of doing the run, so some of us tend to lounge about in our pjs, and you can guarantee that a visitor will come to ya front door and think oh my god, she aint even dressed yet, what a lazy mare hahaha, but hey to any guys out there or women who do have a job where they have to knock on doors for summit, "Give us mums some credit, we look after our kids all day long etc, 24-7and we deserve a 6 week break, even if we want to laze about in our houses with our hair a mess, house a tip,lots of washing up to do,Its our holiday too.........
