First off, no parking in front of the driveway, for your safety and mine park in the driveway or along the curb side. Don’t make me get your vehicle towed away at your expense. Two, be in bed by 9:00 pm at the latest, except on special occasions where an extension is warranted. Three, fetch your own drinks, and snacks. Your legs are not broken. You know what you like to eat. All items of that sort are kept lower in the pantry. Do it for your damn self – please, and thank you. Four, all old school work has been sorted for artwork, special tests or worth while marks, and a smattering of hand writing specimens. All other items are in the recycling. If you have never gone back to look at anything from the last seven years, then most likely some of that will have gone out to the curb too. Keep only the best, and most choice cuts! Space is limited. Five, don’t get out of bed until 8:00 am, unless you have an appointment, or are being called to the farm to work before the sun becomes too hot. Otherwise, stay the fuck in bed, or be asleep. Too damn hot, and too damn early for a chorus of “I’m bored”. I will send you to camp if I have too. Don’t make me banish you from the house for portions of the summer break. Six, read a god damned book every once in a while. Seven, charge your own damn tablets, and tech in general. If you don’t know where you’ve put it, neither do I. Eight, if you are tired then go rest, do not start a fight because you’re out of sorts (that goes for everybody). Nine, we eat at regular intervals, every single day, choose your snack time with care, and consideration. Ten, pick up your trash, you dirty, dirty beasts. Or you may find those wrappers in your bed at night because I’m sick to death of picking litter up off the floor, couch, hall, bathroom counter, kitchen sink, and bedroom floors. Trash in the trash bins. Please.
Otherwise, welcome to Summer Break 2025! Glad to be here with you, happy & healthy. Let’s treat one another with respect, like human beings, and aim to have some fun. Learn a little. Get some exercise. Eat like a healthy human, and not like a vending machine full of crap. Make some effort to include the dog in your walks, games, or outdoor explorations. Ride those bikes. Break in those ball gloves. I can keep the driveway clear if you want to play ball hockey. Also, remember to dry out your bathing suits when we swim, nobody likes a damp, mouldy, smelly suit to swim in, or be near. Likewise, hang up your wet life jackets after water sports outings at the lake.
But most of all, please be safe, use some caution & common sense. Let us all return to school in September in one piece, and as healthy as we are able to be. We’ve experienced a summer tragedy with friends, and nobody wants a repeat. Take care out there!
Let the games begin. Ciao Bella!
