Are any of you still on summer “vacation”?
What. The. Heck.
My daughter is only three, and yeah, technically she doesn’t even need to be in school. But I need her to be in school. Like, yesterday. However she doesn’t start for two more weeks. It’s September, people! By the time she goes back to school, she will have been on break for FOUR FREAKING MONTHS.
In the meantime, my son is getting his molars and has been waking up multiple times every night for the past few weeks. Between that and the endless summer, I have officially gone crazy. In my madness, I penned a little ditty to the tune of Grease’s, “Summer Nights.” Unfortunately I don’t have the technical skills (or the musical skills) to film a cute YouTube video of me singing it, so you’ll have to sing it to yourself. And don’t pretend like you don’t know the song. I know you do.
SUMMER DAYS
Summer vaca, kids having a blast
Summer vaca, it just lasts and it lasts
I swear it’s true, I’m losing my mind
Kids don’t care, they think it’s fine
Summer days, not drifting away, no no
Endless summer days
Well-a-well-a-well-a, huh
Two weeks more, two weeks more
Camps are making me poor
Two weeks more, two weeks more
Moms start drinking at four
The college kids have all left town
There’s not a babysitter to be found
Go to the park again and again
Tell me why we paid this month’s tuition?
Summer sun, school has not begun, oh no
Endless summer days
Well-a-well-a-well-a, huh
Two weeks more, two weeks more
How can days go so slow?
Two weeks more, two weeks more
These kids really must go
My kids’ new parent is PBS
I simply could not care less
Four months of summer is just plain cruel
Our neighborhood doesn’t even have a pool
Summer fun, can it please be done, but no
Endless summer days
Well-a-well-a-well-a, huh
Two weeks more, two weeks more
Don’t think we’ll make it alive
Two weeks more, two weeks more
I think I’ll have a good cry
Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop
Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, yeah!
It’s too hot to go outside
But in the house it’s just whining and cries
My kid gives attitude just like a teen
I’m over this, you know what I mean?
Summer heat, just can’t be beat, oh oh
Endless summer days
Well-a-well-a-well-a, huh
Two weeks more, two weeks more
The administrations don’t care
Two weeks more, two weeks more
How the parents will fare
It turns colder, but summer won’t end
Feels like preschool won’t ever begin
Does Labor day not mean a thing?
It’s time to go and pour me a drink
Parents’ dreams, ripped at the seams
Because, oh, endless summer days!
Two weeks more, two weeks more!
Love it! All the private school kids start today around here, and I am so jealous.
