so the kids and I took a mental health day...
What is a mental health day you ask...????
Its where I dont make the kids go to school and we go and do something fun all day together..
so its starts out...
first a quick trip to the eye Dr to check out my eyes for a check up since the lasik..
then we stop at chick fil a for a quick snack before we go to the park...
driving down the road we pass something that smells like a gas line was leaking..
of course the kids start yelling wheww what is that smell .!!!!
momma did you fart...???
No I didnt..thank you very much...
so I look down and my nephew had left some cologne in my car so I spray it...
the kids say oh that smells good what is it...
I say cologne...
zach says oh that makes you hot..
I say what do you mean hot...????
Isnt that waht you said momma
no...I said it makes ya sexy silly willy!!!! lol
so we go to this park that is like a forrest with hills and a lookout point...
The kids start out so enthustastic....we play at the play ground..
I meet a momthere... she says oh do you homeschool??
I tell here no were taking amental health day lol...
I always feel like less of a mom because I dont homeschool...alot ofwomen in the dfw homeschool..I personally dont have whatever it takes to do it...
So we start walking the trails ..up and down hills...the kids start dragging...
I tell them about the bees and how they make honey ....the wildflowers...
we talk about how walking is good for the heart
that the heart is very happy when we exercise..
It goes yipee evertime we walk...
we go to the lookout and point out interesting buildings we see far off...the clouds...etc..
so on the way back..I notice the kids are dragging again...
I said cameron are you ok
he says well..<.he sighs> I'm not very happy to be walking but my heart must be really happy
about now.....
I laugh goofy kids...
we go to the library...read about dinosaurs...
now we are home watching brother bear...
SIgh...I love days like these...
me and my boys nothing is nicer...

I love mental health days!!!
I took one on Monday from work, but made son go to school. Lol. He has perfect attendance this year and did not want him to mess it up so close to the end just cause I was having a mental health day...
Have a great weekend!! Linda

Oh man, I need a mental health day!!!! The kids are getting one today, per my instructions, but I have to work. Sigh. Sounds like a WONDERFUL day for all of you! :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
Do not feel less of a mom because you do not homeschool. Anyone that tells you differently is wrong! I had someone tell me that I should do that. I told them I don't think so. I can't do it. They kept insisting I could. I finally told them that no I can't because I DO NOT WANT TO!
Mental health days -how nice! -Krissy

ANy day with the kids when the kids aren't fighting is priceless! - Barbara
The twins next door, aged 14, are home-schooled; in their case, it's more like "not schooled at all". Any second-grader could out-spell them, and their understanding of math is non-existant. I've seen some successfully home-schooled kids, but I've seen far more poorly-home-schooled ones.
I couldn't do it either, and I see no reason for guilt.
Sounds like a great day!
I couldn't do the homeschool thing either...just not for me! I don't feel guilty about it. :)
The park you went to sounds familiar...Arbor Hills?? Great place.

I love your stories :-)
