Summer already!!! Are your kids torturing you and are you traveling with this GAS???

Like Alice Cooper says: "Schools out for Summer!"
Yep my son is thrilled and announces daily that he is home for 2 months...do you hear me screaming already! Am I the only one that wishes school to be year long??? Dreading the Summer and the daily question..."What are we doing today" and my favorite saying "I'm Bored" well how about going to summer school, now I wish he wasn't an A student. Ha
I see my friends struggling trying to find camps, workshops and ANY summer program they can find to put their kids in due to their work schedules. This is so frustrating for the working parents, you want to be able to enjoy the summer with your kids but, working makes this difficult. Can we talk about the ridiculous costs of Camps!!! $200 for a week of baseball camp, $800+ for the Y and that is only one session. $1000's of dollars for day camps does the working parent ever get ahead and now to add to the grief is the cost of gas!!! Which I can rant for hours about. My son wants to write to the President to complain that our summer vacation to Rhode Island is now cancelled because gas here on Long Island is over $4.50 for premium. We now walk and see his local grandparents(1/2 hour away) only twice a month.
Do we all ban together to not drive for 1 day, do we see the price going down in the future and will the new president help this crisis or are we already doomed???? I think this is the first time in my life that I have been so affected by the economy and have really felt it in my pocket. Now I put money aside just for gas..are u kidding me!!!

I think everyone should stay home and order tons of chocolate goodies from me and Party!!! OK I thought that was funny. Would love to hear what everyone is doing for the summer and how they are handling the gas crisis??? We hope everyone will have a wonderful summer no matter what you do or where you go. Pack a picnic and enjoy each other!

Field day fun!
