This week is a stark difference from last week

Last week was the final week of July.  We still had three weeks until school begins, and we were off on Friday and working short days.  This week is a stark difference to last week.  The teachers have been in and out all week, parents have been in and out and communicating, and there has been so much going on.  Next week is my least favorite week of the summer.  I'll be ready for the routine of the first day when it arrives.  We still have two weeks, and tomorrow and Friday will be shorter days.  Hanging on to what is left of summer, but ready to see the kids again!
