I hate summer

I am not the biggest fan of summer. What? The Arthritic doesn’t like the dry hot weather? No. No I don’t, and it’s not about the weather. It’s challenging as a physically disabled parent all 365 days of the year. However during the summer months there is no school, no alone time for me to just sit and relax, pondering life if I want to. There is a lot of “Mom can we go bowling?” “Mom, can you play Barbie’s with me?” “I’m bored.” During summer months I go back to the pre school days of entertaining an only child. She has lost her routine, her socializing, her sports, and her dancing! I can’t criticize her for wanting to spend her whole day with me... it’s my own fault for not wanting to schedule play dates with other kids. Other kids, means other parents and I haven't found an adult socializing class yet!
