Summer is definitely ending, work is picking back up (although it never really let up this summer!) and Kevin already has reading assignments for his classes - he starts back to school in one week. I think we're both ready for him to go back. I know he enjoyed the break, but this summer has had its moments when I've been frustrated that I'm so busy and he has all this time off, we knew what we were getting into but having a spouse back in school is tough some days.
He's already halfway through and loving it! It will be a crazy school year, he'll have TA duties on top of the schoolwork that he had last year and I'll be even busier with my VP duties in addition to my work duties - those have been keeping me busy this summer..maybe thats why it feels like it never slowed down...
I'm really looking forward to the cooler weather - sweaters, soups, maybe some rain?!?
We've already been to a football game, the first Texans preseason game of the year. For Kevin and a lot of people fall would not be the same without football.
I know exactly what you mean about being frustrated the boy has a bunch of free time while you continue to work your butt off all summer. That's the only time I hate being married to a teacher. It really does get hard sometimes, you want a day off so badly and he has 60. Since his whole family is off too, I get really frustrated when they're like "we're going to the beach this week, you guys should come too! Oh. Well, Hal you should come!" Thanks. I'm glad Hal is back in too, but I know it's hard for them to get back into it. Good luck to both of you this year!
