I’m outside on the patio right now, researching for a post about Obama’s speech in Cairo today. (Added: post’s finally up!) It’s a breezy, not-yet-hot day — and I’m anticipating the arrival of any number of hyper-excited young teenagers here any second.
It’s time to cue Alice: School’s Out for Summer!
It’s quite amazing. I can actually hear them coming! Cars are honking on the main road a few blocks away, and kids are cheering in response. Madness!
Summer at last — swimming, sleeping, playing (and sleeping some more). Lazy crazy days, leading to many happy memories for Adorable Child and her friends in the years ahead.
But… I wonder how long it’ll be before I’m counting the minutes until they return to classes? And quiet sanity…
:>
Let’s start a pool. I’ll take “Next Monday, at 9:00 AM”.
Have a happy summer!

Pfft! I guess I can’t participate in the pool, but if I could, I’d say sometime this evening… LOL!
I’m figuring you calculated it out yesterday
“I’m figuring you calculated it out yesterday ”
Haha! No, yesterday was still too far removed from today’s reality — which has, btw, evolved into a 7-girl sleepover. (ACK!!!) Did I say sometime this evening? When’s school start?
As someone without kids, the best part of “school’s out” for me is no more worries about driving thru school zones!
