I have the privilege of being married to a school teacher (yep, that's right, one month at Christmas, a week at Mardi Gras, spring break, and 104 days of summer vacation...no, it's cool, really) and having kids, so my life will always revolve around the school seasons, for better or worse. I get to feed off of their excitement and sense of relief, at least a little. But meanwhile, nothing much has changed for me, I am still stuck in the same old same old, the usual routine - alright, maybe there is a little pep in my step without the added burden of lunches and laundry and homework and clean uniforms.
Our summer so far has been lovely...filled with day camps and late nights and skipped baths and trips to the farmer's market and ice cream and trip planning and lots and lots of sunshine...
And yeah, I know, James has disappearing eyes and a bad haircut. I have no idea why his eyes disappear when he smiles...need to work on that...and the bangs, 100% my fault...I couldn't take the incessant scratching of the forehead and rubbing of the eyes...I did it and Aunt Sue will fix it in a week (please?).
