I hate summer vacation!
Aug 06th 2009 18:36
We are in the middle of summer vacations.
It means that I spend all day with my kids. Sometimes I’m at my wit’s end to control them.
My eldest daughter is 7 and my youngest daughter is 4. The eldest have a certain amount of homework but the youngest doesn’t have any of it because she is in a kindergarten. While the eldest is facing to her homework, the youngest wants to play with her sister. At first, the eldest says to her sister “Don’t bother me! Go away!”. Every time she said that, the youngest gave it up. But three or four times later, they are playing together before I know. They are supposed to be yelled. I always say “Why do you have no concentration?” to the eldest and “Why do you disturb your sister while she is studying? ” to the youngest.
After the eldest managed to finish day’s work, the rest of the day is for playing with nothing to worry about.
They chase each other with shouting, sprawl their toys in the living room a short time later I cleaned up. Ask me to bring down the toys which are stored where they can’t reach in addition to the scattered toys.
And more,
They say that they don’t like the dish for lunch I prepared. (Of course I have them eat it.) While I am lying down because of the reasons above, the youngest jumps on me.
“Summer vacation” means a kind of war for me as a mother.
The real summer vacation for me starts when their summer vacation ends.

We are in the middle of summer vacations,
which means that I spend all day with my kids. (I connected this sentence with the previous one.)
Sometimes, trying to control them brings me to my wit's end.
The eldest was given a certain amount of homework to complete over the summer, but the youngest doesn’t have any of it because she is in a kindergarten.
When the eldest is tackling her homework, the youngest wants to play with her sister.
Every time she said that, the youngest would give it up.
But three or four times later, they end up playing together before I even realize it.
Naturally, I have to scold them.
When the eldest manages to finish her homework for the day, I allow them the rest of the day to play around.
They chase each other while shouting, scatter their toys in the living room (which I had to clean up a short time later),
and ask me to bring down the toys which are stored where they can’t reach, in addition to the ones they already have scattered about. (Connected with the previous sentence.)
(Of course I make them eat it.) And while I am lying down because of the reasons above, the youngest jumps on me! (Many a grammar book will say that beginning a sentence with a conjunction is wrong, but F 'em. =D )
Also, I'm sorry for not showing up on Skype. The time zone difference is a real killer... orz
Thank you!
For me, relative pronoun, and conjunction is difficult. I need to practice using them.
Yeah, they make me cray in this hot summer.
I haven't been on Skype thesedays because of my new job and my kids.......
