Not Ready

Schools are finished for the summer holidays and I am so not ready.
I try to make some plans for the summer holidays, especially trying to get my kids
English improved.  But this year I just haven't thought at all about what to do!
One problem is that both Hannah and Christopher have to go to school!  Yes it is the summer holidays but the kids still have to attend certain things.  Christopher I can understand, this is
his last year at high school and a lot of the things he has to do is to prepare for entering college next year.  Hannah should attend her club activity at least four mornings a week.  I feel it too much.  Either give the kids a holiday or have them attend all year!  Plus they both have homework. I haven't seen Christopher's but Hannah has a small mountain of prints, plus science experiment, two posters to make and a book report to write out!  I wonder if the teachers know that a lot of the mothers end up doing part of the homework because it is too much for the kids! 

The weather is not being typical at all.  We have had a few very hot days but all in all rather cool this year.  A massive typhoon passed over Japan last night, we were very lucky here in that we only caught the edge of it.  It was windy and rainy last night but not too bad!

David is making pizza for dinner, from scratch.  Smells really nice!  Can't wait for dinner, I think I should go and help!
