Back to School Blahs!

School starts in seven days! Seven days! Which means not only will my kids be going to school in 100 plus degree heat, so will I!

Is it just me or is it just plain wrong to send kids to school in August? Technically, it’s still SUMMER. Time for swimming and BBQs and staying up late! Sure, getting out of school at the end of May was great, but I’d gladly extend school into June if we could start school in September!

September is for school (though where I grew up in NY September days were just as HOT as August.) They even start with the same letters. I’ve heard a few arguments for school ending in May and starting in August, but I’m not buying any of them. What’s your take on this school thing?

I really wish we’d go back to an after Labor Day school start, especially this year. I could use the extra month to catch up on house stuff, plan for my Creative Writing class, and finish my 2009 tax return!

But school starts in a week and I’m teaching, guess I can’t play hookie!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
