Summer Vacation is for Parents Too

In the summertime, it doesn't matter what is on the schedule tomorrow.  It doesn't matter that its nine at night and the kids are still playing.

In the summer, gym days are every day and library days are moments laying in a twin bed flipping through the pages. 

In the summer, the sun beating through the windows at just such an angle means its time for dinner or ice cream or bike rides or a nap.

In the summer, a dirty face matters not.  Long fingernails and hair that needs cutting, worn out sneakers and threadbare shorts are all acceptable accoutrements. 

In the summer, a bathing suit worn under shorts for six days straight is a victory for the school-aged and a win for the laundry washers of the world. 

In the summer, homework arguments disappear into thin air as we wait in line at Cindy's for our soft serve.

In the summer we all bask in the glow of NO SCHOOL!
