    School starting back doesn't affect me because I'm taking summer classes. My last days of the summer will actually be my busiest, because I have finals for my summer class, as well as move-in for the dorms (where I work as a desk receptionist.) I really wish I had time to do something fun, but I don't. Oh well; I'll have fun once I graduate. :)

    As far as what I plan to do, we recently moved to TX from FL and are staying in an extended-stay hotel. Our plan is to find a more permanent single-family rental.

    My dream rental would be a ranch home on a cul-de-sac with a community pool and playground. And the icing on the cake would be if it's walking distance to the library.

    Trying to take a day off or two, to spend some time with the kids. My husband is a school teacher, so I rely on him to "deal" with summer. I so love being able to get up early and sneak out of the house before all the fussing starts. I hate fighting with the kids to get going during the school year!

I tend not to think about it all that much because I have so much on my to do list for the new school year that I don't know where to begin. I'll probably be making last minute preparations.
