Sucking Up the End of Summer Before Back to School

I just discovered my children return to school this Friday.  Due to what is apparently a unique school calendar, they will be attending school before Labor Day.  I was less than thrilled and glad I already went shopping for their school clothing and sneakers (thanks to a little financial help from Grandma).

With endless responsibilities in those final few days before back to school, I also realized the importance of sucking up the end of summer.  We visited the local ice cream parlor to play games and eat sweet treats. (I only got a small dish of chocolate to maintain my Venusity.)  My husband completely reset and cleaned the swimming pool to cool off during the dog days of summer.

Much like anything in life, with endings come new beginning.  The summer always seems too short.  I miss the children when they are gone all day.  On the other hand, the freshness of back to school is exciting.  When the children go back, I can do more writing (and we certainly need the income). 

Now I'm just waiting to receive one more school schedule and the dreaded list of school supplies...
