Indeed.  School is done.  Everyone is out of the house.  I will attempt to navigate the local bus system for the first time today.

How are you?

You know, busy with stuff.  CBtE has been out of school for nearly 3 weeks, so I'm trying to keep him from becoming a total teenage slug (hopefully he'll read the books we got at the library yesterday); CBtY has his last day tomorrow.

Looking forward to going to the beach at the end of July, and trying to get ahead on my work schedule so I can relax a little.

What are you up to this summer?

Three weeks between the end of the school year for the two?  Wow, that's a big gap. What grades will they be in this fall?

We don't have much planned, nothing like a trip to Italy :)  We'll be pretty broke for the next year so the race is on as to who finds a part-time job first, me or my husband.  Thus, I'll be riding the bus as often as I can.   I have to make one transfer today to get to where I am going.

Hay CG!  The b2 has a series of half days through next week.  Great for working parents.

They're just trying to drive you insane, aren't they?

When does camp start?

Insane is the word.  Camp starts at the very end of June, I believe.

And why the bus?  Or do I even need to ask with gas prices being what they are?
