Schools almost out for the Summer!!!!!

For us school will let out at the end of next month, and they won't start up again until just after labor day in the beginning of September. School being out won't change anything for us really. I generally work in the evenings and my FIL babysits.. so that won't change. Though when school starts back up again this fall I'm going to resume my search for a part time secretarial job.

I miss getting out for the summer. I graduated High School two years ago and have since been going to a college with an accelerated degree program... meaning I go to school during the summer. A bummer, but I figure it's more like real life in any event. I remember that I used to count down the days to summer and enjoy every minute of it. I was really irked by some of my classmates because they'd return to school after summer and say, "Darrr... I was bored all the time. I didn't know what to do with myself." That always made me mad, cause how on earth do you not know what to do with yourself for three months? Don't you have hobbies? Talent? Hopes? Dreams? lol Lazy kids.

My girls are very happy. Today was their last day. They have to go back Friday to get their gradecards..which I think is a waste..but anyway..it's just long enough for that and freedom rings..lol. I really don't have to worry about mine..well...not as far as childcare goes..they are a bit older. In the summmer..they usually sleep pretty late too...lol..

The joyous time to be off for three months. Of course I remember that it was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in the sense that it was three months off. A curse in the sense that I had to go back and it was really hard to get back in the groove. That is the worst part of summer vacation for me. The long and sluggish period whenever I go back, where it takes a few weeks to really get back in the groove. Then again its going to be a short summer vacation for the children around here. They won't be getting out until the first week of June, due to having to make up snow days. Then they go back in the middle of August. Of course, I think I had a couple of summers like that, where it was rather short. Still pretty soon the screaming of excited children will fill the neighborhood. Right now its rather quiet. Seems like only yesterday it was last Summer. Where does the time go?

Oh, your son is so lucky! Here in Italy we'll be going on until 11th June, and we're having a difficult time - lots of tests, both written and oral. Well, I hope at least he will have fun... I think I'll have a huge party as soon as I'm free! :D

My son has an extra week because of the snow days , he is 16 and I dont have to worry about when school is out just food man can that boy eat , when he was younger I just geared up for the increase in day care cost , I too wonder how some do it now that he is older I tend to forget those days , good luck and enjoy your time with your son

Hope your son has a nice summer vacation. U are lucky to get to be home w/him. I always had to work & culdn't do that. Y'all have fun.

Oh yes I do remember how difficult it was to get them up and going to a sitter, during the summer because mom had to work. I also had a few years where I was able to stay home during the summer and gosh we use to have a blast. Back then the Library use to loan out free passes to all the museums and for free so we would pack picnics and sit out by the lake after wards so we always had a great deal of fun. Have fun with your son!
