Summer: Freedom from the battles of homework
Okay, so a lot of parents are scrambling to figure out places to keep the kiddies when school lets out Friday. But an equal number of parents I know sigh with relief when the final school bell rings. No more battles with homework. No more frantic calls from school about a sick child, a forgotten homework, or a lost textbook. No more late school buses or rides home from activities that didn't materialize.
Just as summer means freedom from the strictures of school for children, these hot, wet months mean a certain kind of freedom for Mom and Pop, too.
Let's hear it for cold watermelon, frozen pops and no social studies projects.

It is nice to not have to wake up the kids and scurry around to get them a nutritional breakfast that they like before they go to school -- it will make my mornings a lot less stressful.
Keeping them busy will not be a problem at my house - many chores that need to be done and a dad who is also off for the summer. I recommend that all working women marry school teachers just for this reason.
Summer is great -- the traffic improves over night too.
Only problem is those pesky hurricanes (and I am NOT talking about the UM!)
