August begins, already

Where’d July go? Blink.

Apparently (I venture to guess) many children are saying this too, since School begins this week or next week, for many. Yikes!

It’s not affecting MY children, they learn at home, and we don’t do things according to public or private schedules. We won’t get heavier into things until, well, not until we do. We learn throughout every day and “formal” learning isn’t what we do. I’ll get into doing more CM stuff as the Autumn comes along.

As it goes, I’ve never seen such a quickly fleeing July, it being the month that is MY month, with my bday, sister, dad, hubby, and more, in it. It never was fast per se, even in adulthood. This year it went fast –I will guess due to hubby business travel.

I was most assuredly bothered by the July 4th “Back to School” ads in the newspaper. Now I know why they were so very early, I just learned yesterday that “schools begin this week” around here. It seems earlier and earlier by and by. When I was young school didn’t begin until after Labor Day. Later it began the last week of August, then in another place it was the third week of August, but never earlier. I loved July as the one full month with a buffer of two or more weeks on each side of it, OFF. Delicious Summertime Funtime. Ah…
