The last month as been interminable. Cutie was done with preschool the first week in June. I work at her preschool, so I was done with work then as well. Since then it has been one rainy day after another. For 3 weeks it was just the 2 of us, while Sweetie finished up Kindergarten. I had no idea how exhausting entertaining one 3-year old would be. But since last week I’ve had both girls on my own and it’s been even more exhausting.
This year instead of spending an arm and a leg on Summer Camp I chose to get a pool membership (which was equally as expensive). I’m heartily regretting this decision because the pool has been open for 2 weeks and so far there have only been 2 days that the weather has permitted us to go.
I’m running out of ways to entertain my children in the rain. It seems like most rainy day activities = spending lots of money. Since I’m a teacher and have no income during the summer months, spending money is something I’m trying not to do.
Today is another rainy day and I am at the end of my rope. I really wish that I had a family member nearby who could lend a hand because I could really use a break.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow night when the girls will be with a sitter while I head to my class.
How do you entertain your children on rainy summer days?
