She’s baaaaack!
Wednesday Fun
filed in Raising College Kids on May.11, 2010
You know you’re a mom when…
Sometimes a big smile means a lot of work. And it doesn’t matter.
Well, guess who’s back from college life for the summer? Actually, she’s decided to commute next year. “Too much down time, I want to go back to work AND go to classes”, she says. So she’ll make the trek daily herself come next fall. And save me (and her) a buttload of dough. Woot! (of course this also means….we’re back to trying to split a package of 8 cinnamon rolls between 5 people again. lol)

Okay, now if you all will excuse me….I have to go an work on a new chore chart for the kids. Seems we now have 2 extra hands.

Sounds like a plan, but is it just me or does she seem entirely too happy about living at home again?

Oh the days of packing up the car like that! I’m sure you will enjoy having her home…cinnamon rolls and all! = )

Those are the happiest days of my life when they come home!!! No more for my oldest, but my youngest…maybe a little bit more of it.
I am jealous of you!

Yay! I’m sure the reduced ration of cinnamon rolls is a small price to pay.

It’s got to be a nice feeling to have all your kids under one roof again.

Two extra hands never hurts! And saving money? Even better!

She looks happy to be home! I had to giggle at the full car. I remember quite a few trips with a car looking like that!

Well yeehaw! Score on two fronts, saving money, and having extra help around the house
I think it’s a fair trade for the rolls
