My two don't start back until after Labor Day also. Can't believe I won't have one in elementary school. My youngest starts middle school. Any one remember when we use to call it Jr. high? My older two head back to college on different days Labor Day weekend. That is always fun.
Now we start the rush to finish up the yearly Dr. appointments and dentist. Also try to have some more fun before the summer is over. It really is too bad work always interferes with the rest of our lives.
I also hate the home work. I gasp in horror over science projects. After having four children I feel like I have gone through 3rd, 4th, 5th, grade five times. Finally, they handle most of the homework themselves now.
I know the feeling about rushing home to watch DS. I did it in the 60th's and now I rush home from work to watch it. Yes, sometimes it gets me through the day.
