Almost the last day of school

We went to the library and picked up a gaggle of books, games, cds and videos. Both boys joined summer reading programs and we have new incentive to read at home too. They have to read a book to earn xbox and skate park privileges. I have two classes tonight and I am looking forward to having a little time off from teaching 6 days a week. I really need some time to get things settled at home and want to have a streamlined life. I clean the house, the counters and floor are clear and somehow (Alex and Garret) they get filled with curious bits and peices of stuff. I feel like I am always going backward. Maybe it'll get better when they go to college?
