I survived-- barely
Yesterday was my kids' last day of school. My teen left last night for a five-night school trip to Washington D.C.. Although a part of me was terrified about having the kids home and arguing all summer, another part was looking forward to not having to wake up early and schlep them to their activities. And I assured myself that the kids wouldn't start arguing for at least another week.

My teen called at 5:50 this morning to say hello. My boys started arguing shortly thereafter. I spent a lot of time today schlepping them to friends' houses, out to eat, and karate.

Only 75 more days until school starts.

We've been out for nearly a month now, and summer has been way more hectic than the school year. But I've accepted it. I'll get done what I can get done and enjoy the time.

I'm almost done revising my YA manuscript. After I turn it into Laura, I won't have any pressing writing deadlines and hope to relax a lot. I was kind of kidding about yesterday. It is good to be home with my kids... um, sometimes.

Debby,

I feel your pain. Our teenage sons have been done school for nearly two weeks. Whatever happened to those relaxing summer daze, er, days?

Hope you enjoy fun with the kids and some writing time between the shlepping and the arguing.

All best,
Donna

Oh, I was kinda kidding.

The "not so random commenter" thing always cracks me up.

74 more days.
