Well, I held out longer this year than previous years. That being said – I am so over summer break right now. These kids NEED to go back to school. Yes, I certainly enjoyed sleeping in, but the fighting, attitudes AND constant “I’m bored” is working my every last nerve. While we’re at it, all these tourists just need to go away because I’m done with them, too. Snowbirds – outta here. I realize that won’t happen until mid to late October – or until they get their damn flu shot – but I can dream, can’t I?
Ugh!
All anger/frustration aside, my summer was nice. Granted none of my plans were weather dependent. Living in Northern Michigan you learn to never make plans that are weather dependent. Wish I went to the beach more, of course. And there were a few ‘I wish I would’ve done that’ moments. All in all it was fine. My only true regret was that I didn’t get to see Five For Fighting at Interlochen. John Ondrasik performed with some Interlochen orchestra students. I’m sure it was amazing. We were out of town at a family reunion. Actually it was my wife’s family AND what happened there was jus as … entertaining. I could do a whole post on the concept that is ‘the family reunion’. But – insert heavy sigh – maybe next year.
Instead, I will leave with you with this –

Side note –
While I was surfing the web looking for the appropriate cartoon to introduce this post, I came across the link below. It’s a back to school commercials. Call me crazy, but watching prep-school girls doing a song and dance number to celebrate eight hour coverage for tampons IS awkward.
Don’t believe – just watch!
