Time is running short. School is coming to an end in a few weeks. Oh the hopes and dreams I have for the summer. And oh, the FEARS…
My top 10 fears for the summer:
I fear that my kids will drive me so insane that I end up running out of the house screaming and yelling like someone who’s being attacked by zombies, making a giant ass out of myself in front of the neighbors (wouldn’t be the first time, quite frankly).
I fear that my kids will realize that I did not sign up (or pay the $600) for the new cool pool that all their friends are going to, but that I instead decided to stick with the boring pool at the gym.
I fear that while swimming (at the boring pool at the gym), one of my kids will grab my bathing suit in the wrong spot and a boob will fly out (making the overall swimming experience slightly less boring).
I fear that I will, once again, sign the kids up for the book club at the library, then neglect to hand them a single book all summer long.
I fear that all the awesome camps I have my kids signed up for will end up not giving me the small pockets of alone time that I desire, but instead will require me to spend all my time in the car trudging them from point A to point B.
I fear that hubs and I will regret our decision to sign 9-year old up for summer travel baseball as we find ourselves suffering through 2-hour-long (boring) games, three days a week in the scorching heat.
I fear that my husband will force me to see TED in the theater.
I fear that my husband’s plan to send my boys to visit his family for a week over the summer actually happens. No matter how sick I am of my kids, I’m not thrilled with the idea of them being out of my reach for so long. (Me? A control freak? Naaaaa.)
I fear that I will have no time to squeeze in the biweekly pedicures I’ve become so accustomed to. Nobody wants to look at toes that aren’t pretty and polished.
I fear that I will neglect the gym while indulging in food and drink, only to no longer fit into my “sexy” jeans come September.
So there you have it. My top 10 fears for the summer, all of which I predict will become reality.

#3 – I think the baby will take care of that one for me; #5 – already happening as I was in my car 6 different times today, and I didn’t even get to do anything fun one of those times; #10 – I am trying to get up in the morning and get on my treadmill before baby wakes up, but that’s hit and miss.
I’m raising my wine glass to you: Here’s to a great summer!!
Kathy, if I had 4 kids, my list would have been twice as long. Raising my glass to YOU!
Oh god the boob popping out of the bathing suit happens every summer, it’s inevitable!!!
Yeah, it sure is. Nobody wants to see my white boob flopping all over the pool.
#8 not wanting your kids to go away for a week. I hear that! I like handing my kids off in small doses no matter how they frustrate me. That’s what is making finding a nanny so tough.
I hope you can make it through the whole summer without seeing the 3 Stooges and are able to fit into your jeans in the fall. Have fun! And if you’re not having fun, at least you have a smart phone to keep you entertained.
That’s it… small doses. Anything longer than a night and I get restless without them. I need to have them tight in my grasp (God help me when they go off to College. I’ll be that psycho mom who follows them).
You will rock those sexy jeans no matter how much you indulge, momma.
Here’s hoping, Ninja, here’s hoping!
I hear you! I am quite afraid of a boob popping out at the pool, too. Your list made me laugh!
Thanks for letting me link up at Finding the Funny, Kelley!
I just realized that you linked this up for #findingthefunny. Glad you did!
I saw the Three Stooges. Your fear is justified.
Ha ha… it just looks awful!
Oh my – I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m terrified for summer!
You were one of the most clicked links at last week’s Finding the Funny. Kelley and I will both be featuring you on Wednesday!
(And I’m pinning this!)
Cool! Thanks, Anna!
These are all so true! I snorted over #4 and #7, am sick myself about sending my kids away and so know already my jeans aren’t fitting come Sept.–should just stash them away now! Thanks for this awesome list
What’s summer for if not to eat and drink lots, right? As for the kids going away, I’m hoping my husband just doesn’t have the wherewithal to pull it all together. I’m certainly not helping him on that one.
You have just voiced all my summer concerns for me!! Eeks, i’ve worked so hard to loose baby weight this spring, I REALLY fear ruining it this summer!!
Seriously! I am already starting to get larger with all these trips to the ice cream shop!
