The natives are restless

Be it Raymond, counting the seconds until school is out, or the 85 eleven and twelve-year-olds waiting to end classes for, unbeknown to them, the boring doldrums of summer vacation. "Do we have to work the last week of school? The last day? The last hour?" I am always amazed by the level of excitement for the school year to end, for myself and my kids. My Summer list of things to do is growing to a point where I am excited to get Summer going so I can get to my home/life agenda as opposed to school always taking a big part of my day/week and attention.
