It might still seem like an eternity away, but fear not dear weary mother’s and father’s the day of reckoning will soon be upon us.

I think the first thing we’ll do when that school bus disappears over the horizon is jump in the pool and enjoy a leisurely swim and rejoice in having the pool all to ourselves.  It so better NOT rain that day.

How will you celebrate?

• The Weekend of Nothing (and Personal Finance Links) With the wife out town for what seems to be the 745th straight day, Jake (my new puppy) and I had a weekend of sitting around in a pool of our own slobber.
