School's Out for Summer, Again

Now that the kids are out of school for summer, rather than whine about it I'll focus on the positives:

• No more fighting to get the kids out of bed (at least not before noon)
• Laundry can wait--they'll just get dirty again anyway, and no one's around to call child-protective services
• With a little cooperation from the kids, I can sleep 'til noon
• No homework to cry about (and the kids won't have to stress about it, either)
• I don't have to drive to pick anyone up in the afternoon, so happy hour can start at lunch
• There will now actually be an audience when I rant and throw things
• I can justify spending all day by the pool because I'm "watching the kids"
• August will come again
