I've written many times over the years how August is a tough month. It's hot, and I don't handle heat well. It is back-to-school, and that means the craziness and stress of the school year is back in full swing. It's also been very, very emotional with deaths and illnesses over the many years. It's just a tough, tough month.
This year, we are reminded it can also be a tough month financially! With the car purchase last spring and the bathroom remodel, we are being careful not to drain our money. Back-to-school sure doesn't help though. All of the school and activity fees are due in August, along with the new school-year supplies and other purchases that are required. It also doesn't help that August is a month where I'm not collecting a substitute teaching paycheck, and didn't last month either. In that regard, school starting is a GOOD thing!
It really seems so hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day of summer break. Where did it all go??
