Friday-extra: Craving that 9 month break... Again

It's Friday, and by my count there are 5 days until school starts again for my sons... and I am reminded of my essay published 7 summers ago. Back before my sons were teenagers.

So I offer it up now to all parents who, like I was then -- and am now -- ready for school to begin again.

No matter how much they claim its untrue, kids like school. Maybe not the homework. But the energy.

There's always something happening at school. That's not always true for summer days.

Summer doldrums can be hard... on parents, too.
