Trying to decide how to spend the remaining days of summer can be exhausting. When should I start the changing of the internal clock? When do I acknowledge a daily scheduled? When is it time to draft that back to school letter? When is it time to put away the T-shirts and shorts and pull out the dress slacks and shirts?
"I have this week! That's IT!" Kim announces as she slides into her morning coffee. The public school system begins back to school after Labor Day, while our private school system is on it's own to decide when it's best to hit the hallways and stuff the lockers once again. At Kim's school,... the teachers begin next Monday.
An awkwardness blankets our mornings in August as I relish the full month of freedom still to be enjoyed, while Kim begins full blown readiness. She mutters quite a bit about going back early, but deep down (usually by the bottom of her coffee cup), she is ready and excited to get started - as am I,... in another month.
There is some excitement coming in September - It's National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Tate Publishing is kicking things off with a nationwide media blitz. More on what this will entail as information becomes known.

Congrats on your new job at New Buffalo! Emma is so sad that you are leaving Roosevelt! Hope everything goes well. Roosevelt won't be the same without you.

Dave,
Just how do you expect us to compare Acadia vacation notes if you're not in the building?!? Seriously, you have meant the world to our kids and our family, we wish you all the best in New Buffalo and hope that somehow we can still stay in touch!
