The Days of Summer
Yesterday was the first day of summer break for my kids and I. I include myself in that because with the first day of summer break I can leave my alarm clock silenced for almost every day of the week. In reality, I get up at the same time year-round due to the furry alarm clocks living in my house, but there is something nice about being able to not set an alarm.
And I think that is the precise reason so many of us look forward to whatever breaks there be in our typical schedule. Perhaps those breaks come only twice a week, or on vacation days taken from work. Those breaks from the typical that make us number days on the calendar and give us something to look forward to…and in this case, summer.
Bicker, Bicker, Bicker – Or Why Summer is WAY Too Long
I have three siblings and I know we never fought like my kids do. If we had, I think my mother would have maimed us. She wasn’t the type to tolerate such shenanigans, that is for sure. And for the life of me, I can’t figure why they think I do. Oh yeah, that’s right. I’ve already lost my mind.
