Summer

Summer is here, meaning school is out. Changes in the daily routines, out of town company, lots of extra driving to cool sounding camps that require cross town drives at all sorts of odd hours.
I love the desert landscapes and cacti, but as it gets closer to August, my irritability index reaches the max. I am a believer in the concept of year-round school, so the kids don't forget everything they learned. The parents can spread out their vacations and come up with new responses to requests to watch television from morning 'til night. The fact is, that school was just out today and I already gotten one "I'm bored." I guess I will have to get creative on ideas to creatively encourage reading and workbooks. Sounds like I better get busy on that real soon.
